1. A rectangular room measures 13 feet by 15 feet. It is going to be carpeted 1 point with carpeting that sells for $31.50 per SQUARE YARD. (A square yard is 3 feet by 3 feet, or 9 square feet)... So, this carpet sells for 31.50/9 or $3.50 per square foot. b. If the room is drawn to 1/4 inch represents 1 foot scale, give the dimensions of the room in inches on the scale drawing."​

The dimensions of the room in inches on the scale drawing is

inches by inches OR 3.25 inches by 3.75 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the dimension of the room is 13feet by 15feet.

Now, if the room is drawn to 1/4 inch represents 1 foot scale, i.e 0.25 inch represents 1 foot, then the dimension of the room in inches on the scale drawing can be determined as follows

Since 1 foot = 0.25 inch  

∴ 13 feet on the scale drawing will be 13 × 0.25 = 3.25 or 3 1/4 inches

and 15 feet on the scale drawing will be 15 × 0.25 = 3.75 or 3 3/4 inches

Hence, the dimensions of the room in inches on the scale drawing is

inches by inches OR 3.25 inches by 3.75 inches.
