On a set of blueprints for a new home, the contractor has established a scale that states ½ inch = 10 feet.
If the den has dimensions of 0.6 inch by 0.75 inch on the blueprints, what will be the dimensions of the actual den after the house is built?

Answer:

12 ft by 15 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

set up a proportion of inches over feet equals inches over feet:

.5/10 = .6/x

cross-multiply to get:

.5x = 6

x = 12

.5/10 = .75/y

cross-multiply to get:

.5y = 7.5

y = 15
