Question 133973
In a scale drawing of a house, the living room is 1 in. long. The actual length is 24 ft.

Use the scale to answer this question.

The actual width of the living room is 18ft. Find the width on the drawing.

x times 24 = 1 times 18

24x = 18

x = 18/24

x = 3/4 inches wide on the scale drawing.
