A blueprint for a building includes a rectangular room that measures 3 inches long and 5.5 inches wide. The scale for the blueprint says that 1 inch on the blueprint is equivalent to 10 feet in the actual building. What are the dimensions of this rectangular room in the actual building? Group of answer choices

The blueprints say that 1 inch represents 10 feet. This means we can form the equation below

1 inch = 10 feet

Of course 10 feet is much larger than 1 inch, so they cannot be actually equal to one another, but it helps tie together the two quantities. And it also allows us to multiply both sides by 3 to get

3 inches = 30 feet

So 3 inches on paper means we have 30 feet in real life.

Similarly,

1 inch = 10 feet

5.5 inches = 55 feet (multiply both sides by 5.5)

The 3 inch by 5.5 inch rectangle on paper corresponds to a 30 feet by 55 feet rectangle in real life.

In short, you multiply each given dimension by 10

3 inches goes to 3*30 = 30 feet

5.5 inches goes to 5.5*10 = 55 feet

step-by-step explanation:

b) 1/3 * 1/5

step-by-step explanation:

each smallest part is 1/15 since the written one is 1/5 and it's divided by 3 equal parts. (1/5 )/3 = 1/15 = 1/3 * 1/5
