Answer: 62 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The scale shows that for every 1/4 inches on the paper, the distance of the actual house is 1 ft.
If the floor plan lists the length as 15 ¹/₂ inches therefore, the length in inches feet is:
= 15 ¹/₂ ÷ 1/4
= 31/2 ÷ 1/4
= 31/2 * 4/1
= 62 ft
When dividing by a fraction, you can multiply its inverse.
