This is simple really .. set the problem up as:

4 as x

-- --

28 42

then cross-multiply:

4 x 42 = 28x

168 = 28x

then divide both sides by 28 :

x = 6

6 inches.

For a simple problem like this though you could do it in your head. If 4 in equals 28 ft .. then 1 in equals 7 ft. Divide that 42 by 7 to get 6.

If the blueprint shows the bedroom as 5.5 inches wide and the scale is 0.50 inches equals 1 foot, you can calculate the actual width by first determining how many scale units are in 5.5 inches. Since 5.5 inches divided by 0.50 inches per foot equals 11, the actual width of the bedroom is 11 feet.


A family is looking at a scale model of the house they are buying The model measures 6 inches by 12 inches The actual house measures 30 feet by 60 feet What is the scale of the model house?

The scale of the house is the ratio of the model to the actual house. This ratio will be the same for both directions, or else the model would be useless. 6 inches is .5 feet, so the ratio is .5:30. You always want to write ratios as 1:something, so we double both side of the ratio and get 1:60. Likewise, 12 inches is one foot, so the ratio is 1:60 for the other dimension as well, as it should be.
