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

\n" );
