In a scale drawing of a house, 1 inch = 4 1/2 feet. If the length of a kitchen is 2 1/4 inches on the scale drawing, what is the actual length, in feet, of the kitchen?

A 2

B 6 3/4

C 8 1/8

D 10 1/8

(D) 10 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The info we are given is that 1 inch = 4.5 feet.

Now we just need to multiply both sides to get 2.25 inches on the left side.

1 inch = 4.5 feet

x2.25 = x2.25

2.25 inches = 4.25 feet * 2.25

2.25 inches = 10.125 feet = 10 1/8 feet (D)
