Planning and Estimating
On a plan drawn at 1/2 inch = 1 foot, a wall measures 7-1/4 inches. How long is the wall?
- A7-1/4 feet
- B14.5 feetCorrect
- C29 feet
- D58 feet
Why: At 1/2 inch = 1 foot each inch of paper is 2 feet, so 7.25 × 2 = 14.5 feet. Twenty-nine feet is the result at the 1/4-inch scale, 58 feet the result at the 1/8-inch scale, and 7-1/4 feet ignores the scale entirely.Armstrong F-5061 Ch. 11 (blueprint scales)
