Answer

Answer:

  1. For the first drawing: 4
  2. For the second drawing: 2

Explanation:

Step1: Convert feet to inches for real - rug

The real - rug length is 12 feet and width is 8 feet. Since 1 foot = 12 inches, the real - rug length in inches is (12\times12 = 144) inches and width is (8\times12=96) inches. But we can also use the ratio of feet to inches in the scale drawing directly.

Step2: Calculate scale for the first drawing

The length of the first scale drawing is 3 inches and the real - length is 12 feet. The scale is calculated as (\frac{12}{3}=4) feet per inch.

Step3: Calculate scale for the second drawing

The length of the second scale drawing is 6 inches and the real - length is 12 feet. The scale is calculated as (\frac{12}{6}=2) feet per inch.
