A scale drawing of a room is shown below. In the drawing, the room is 7 1/2 inches long and 5 inches wide. What is the actual area of the room? Please help

Answer:
I believe the answer is 37.5 (37 1/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
First you convert 7 1/2 to a decimal to make it easier (7.5) then multiply 7.5 by 5 to get 37.5 , then you convert that back to fraction which would be 37 1/2

The area of the room is 150 square ft if the room is 7 1/2 inches long and 5 inches wide, option third is correct.
It is defined as the area occupied by the rectangle in two-dimensional planner geometry.
The area of a rectangle can be calculated using the following formula:
Rectangle area = length x width
We have length of the room = 7 1/2 = 15/2 inches
Width of the room = 5 inches
Area of the room = (15/2)(5) = 75/2 square inches
Scale: 1/2 in = 1 ft
1/4 square inches = 1 square ft
1 square inches = 4 square ft
= (75/2)×4
= 150 square ft
Thus, the area of the room is 150 square ft if the room is 7 1/2 inches long and 5 inches wide, option third is correct.
