The floor plan of a hoise is drawn at a scale of 1/4 in = 1 ft. The length of the house is in the floor plan is 15 1/2 inches. What is the actual length if the house?

 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.
