Sorry, I almost forgot to check it your way.So, I will add `12 + 13.5 =25.5`
so, the rest is x,
`x=18.5ft`
I know the dimension of x now, but she wants to know how many centimeters should she use to represent 18.5 ft in the drawing.
well,
1foot=30.48cm .......................................Not for this problem!!
You were given
Scale is 1 cm = 4ft
4ft → 1 cm
then
1 ft → 1/4 cm = 0.25 cm
18.5 ft → 0.25 * 18.5 → = ? ................................Don't forget to check your answer (how?!)
18.5 ft → 0.25 * 18.5 → = ? ................................Don't forget to check your answer (how?!)
==4.625 cm
checking: 3.375 + 3 + 4.625 = 11 --
44ft * 0.25 =11 the whole length to scale
13.5 ft* 0.25=3.375
12ft*0.25 =3
18.5 ft* 0.25 =4.625
Checking
3.375 +3 + 4.625 =11
Thanks.
