1 & 1/8 = 1 + 1/8 = 1 + 0.125 = 1.125
1 & 1/8 inches = 1.125 inches
-------------------------------------------------------
(length on blue print)/(length in real life) = (length on blue print)/(length in real life)
(1 inch)/(8 feet) = (1.125 inches)/(x feet)
1/8 = 1.125/x
1*x = 8*1.125
x = 9
The length of the wall, represented by 1 1/8 inches on the blue print, is actually 9 feet long.
