You can put this solution on YOUR website! You are making a scale drawing of a room using a scale of 1 inch:4 feet. The room is 14 feet by 18 feet. What are the dimensions of the drawing?
1 in./ 4 ft = x in./14 ft
x=14/4 = 7/2 = 3.5 inches for one of the dimensions.
1 in./ 4 ft = x in/ 18ft
x=18/4 = 4.5 inches for the 2nd dimension.
