On an architects blue print 1 inch corresponds to 9 feet find the length of a wall represented by a line 1 1/3 inches long on the blueprint round to the nearest 10th if necessary

Respuesta :

Answer:

The actual length of the wall is;

[tex]12\text{ feet}[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that On an architect's blueprint 1 inch corresponds to 9 feet.

The ratio is;

[tex]r=\frac{9ft}{1\text{ inch}}[/tex]

So, for 1 1/3 inches long wall on the blueprint, the actual length will be;

[tex]\begin{gathered} l=1\frac{1}{3}\text{inches }\times\frac{9ft}{1\text{ inch}} \\ l=\frac{4}{3}\text{ inch }\times\frac{9ft}{1\text{ inch}} \\ l=12\text{ feet} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the actual length of the wall is;

[tex]12\text{ feet}[/tex]
