1. Problem Description
The problem provides a blueprint scale of 4 inches to 3 feet. We need to complete a table that shows the actual length in feet for different blueprint lengths in inches.
2. Solution Steps
The scale is 4 inches : 3 feet. This means that for every 4 inches on the blueprint, the actual length is 3 feet. We can set up a proportion to solve for the actual length for each blueprint length. The ratio of blueprint length to actual length is constant:
We can find the actual lengths by multiplying the blueprint length by the ratio .
- For a blueprint length of 12 inches:
Actual length = feet
- For a blueprint length of 16 inches:
Actual length = feet
- For a blueprint length of 20 inches:
Actual length = feet
- For a blueprint length of 24 inches:
Actual length = feet
3. Final Answer
Blueprint length (in.): 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24
Actual length (ft): 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18
