Maura drew a scale drawing of a house and its lot. The scale of the drawing was 1 inch : 2 feet. In the drawing, the porch is 6 inches wide. What is the width of the actual porch? Is it 12???
Yes, the porch is 12 feet wide. If 1 inch = 2 feet, and if she makes the porch 6 inches wide, then you multiply the 6inches by 2, since 1 inch is equal to 2 feet.
