Question 980094
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 <font color="red">9 feet</font> long.
