The width of a dining room floor in a scale drawing is 6in. The actual width is 30 ft. What is the scale of the floor plan?

Scale = 5ft/in

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Scale Measurement = 6in.

Actual Width = 30ft

Required

Scale Ratio.

The scale ratio can be calculated as thus:

Scale Ratio = Actual Measurements : Scale Measurements

Scale Ratio = 30ft : 6in

Scale Ratio = 30ft/6in

Simplify to lowest terms

Scale Ratio = 5 ft/1 in

Scale Ratio = 5ft/in

This can also be represented as follows;

Scale Ratio = 5ft : 1in

This means that 5 ft on the actual measurements is represented by 1inch on the scale.
