    First you must find the scale.

    Divide 4 by 0.8.

    You get 5.

    Divide 7 by 1.4.

    That also gives you 5.

    This means the scale drawing is 5 times smaller than the real dimensions.

    On the scale drawing, the kitchen is 2.4 by 2.8 inches.

    All you have to do is multiply both of these by 5 and change it to feet.

    2.4 x 5 = 12

    2.8 x 5 = 14

    So the dimensions of the kitchen are 12 feet by 14 feet.
