Respuesta :

Answer: 1 inch : 4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A room in the hotel is 6 inches long in the drawing.

The actual room is 24 feet long.

i.e. 6 inches in the drawing = 24 feet (in actual)

1 inch in drawing = [tex]\dfrac{24}{6}[/tex] feet

i.e. 1 inch in drawing = 4 feet

The scale of drawing Percy used for the drawing:

1 inch : 4 feet
