<PRE><B>Question 36260</B>
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.
