Closed due to unanswerable
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?
If 1 inch on the blueprint = 1 and a half feet in real life, divide each of the real island dimensions by 1 and a half 3 feet divided by (1 and a half) = ? (1 and a half) divided by (1 and a half) = ?
thanks
Think about it in reverse (1 and a half) * 2 = 3 So 3 divided by (1 and a half) = 2 Anything divided by itself is 1 So (1 and a half) divided by (1 and a half) = 1 The dimensions are therefore 2 by 1 inches
