Question 1158501: On a house plan paper, there is a room that measures 6inches by 5.5 inches. The scale for this set of blueprints is ¼ inch = 1 foot. Find the dimensions of this actual room. Answer by ikleyn(52858) (Show Source):
The scale factor is [ 1 foot : (1/4) inch ], which is = 48.
Therefore, to find real dimensions of the room, multiply its dimensions on the plan paper by 48.
So, the real dimensions are 6 * 48 inches = 6*4 = 24 feet and 5.5 * 48 inches = 5.5*4 = 22 feet. ANSWER
