Question

Chelsea wants to rearrange her room. She makes a scale drawing of the room and cuts out pieces of paper to represent her furniture. The paper representing her desk is 1 & 1/4 inches by 2 & 1/4 inches. What are the actual dimensions of her desk

Answer 1

Answer:

3 2/8 is the inches of Chelsea desk

I have added the inches so what I get that answer

Answer 2

There is not enough information for a reasonable answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to know the ratio between the actual size of the desk and the size of the scale drawing in order to determine what actual dimensions of the desk will be. For example, if the ratio between the actual size and the scale size was 1/25, namely:

\frac{scale\: size}{actual\: size}=\frac{1}{25}

actualsize

scalesize

=

25

1

then we could calculate the actual size to be:

actual \:size=25*(scale \:size).actualsize=25∗(scalesize).

But as we don't know the ratio, we cannot determine the actual dimensions of the desk.
