Planning & EstimatingQuestion 366 of 521
A floor plan is drawn at a scale of 1/4 in = 1 ft. A wall measures 3 in on the drawing. What is its actual length?
a.3 ft
b.6 ft
c.12 ft
d.48 ft
Explanation
At 1/4 in = 1 ft, each inch equals 4 ft, so 3 in × 4 ft/in = 12 ft. Reading the drawing dimension directly (3 ft) or misapplying the scale gives the other values.
