The following blueprint of a kitchen has dimensions of 8 inches by 8 inches. The island has been highlighted in red. The island's actual dimensions are feet by feet. If the scale of the blueprint is 1 inch = feet, what are the dimensions of the island on the blueprint?

ramen:

Where is the blueprint?

ramen:

next time use the upload button to upload the blueprint

darkknight:

well we can't fully answer your question, because we can't see the island. But we know that the blueprint is 8 by 8 inches. One inch = 1 feet in the scaled blueprint, can you find your island dimensions now?

ramen:

no need to repeat what i said darkknight

darkknight:

How did I repeat what you said? You didn't say anything. \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @ramen Where is the blueprint? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @ramen next time use the upload button to upload the blueprint \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) How did I say what you said? If anything I said something useful.

One inch = 1 feet in the scaled blueprint, can you find your island dimensions now? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) literally you basically said we can't see the island. Any you repeated the question. now please drop this and focus on the question now.

darkknight:

Now, now, kids. Let's not fight. You're not making a good first impression for yourself ;b Here's the complete question The following blueprint of a kitchen has dimensions of 8 inches by 8 inches. The island has been highlighted in red. The island's actual dimensions are 3 feet by 1 1/2 feet. If the scale of the blueprint is 1 inch =1 1/2 feet, what are the dimensions of the island on the blueprint?

TheSmartOne:

I'll let one of you take it since you both seem very eager (and invested) in this question

darkknight:

OH ME THAT WOULD BE ME xD We know The island's actual dimensions are 3 feet by 1 1/2 feet. And we know scale of the blueprint is 1 inch =1 1/2 feet, So 3ft / 1 1/2ft = x in/1 in and 1 1/2 ft / 1 1/2ft = x in/1 in So the dimensions of the island on the blueprint would be 2 in by 1 in.
