We have that in the model the length is 2 inches and 1 inch in width. As we know 1 inch is 47 feet, then:

For the length we have:

For the width we have:

To know the area we just need to multiply length by width.

then the area of the building is:

7.25

step-by-step explanation:

we know that 7 equals to 7.0. we also know that 1/4=0.25. so we can add the two together and we get 7.25
