    The actual area of the dog house floor is 1,440 in²

    Step-by-step explanation:

    step 1

    Find the actual dimensions of the house floor

    The scale is equal to

    4 in/ft

    Divide the dimensions of the plan by the scale

    16 in=16/4=4 ft

    10 in=10/4=2.5 ft

    step 2

    Convert ft to in

    Remember that

    1 ft=12 in

    so

    4 ft=4*12=48 in

    2.5 ft=2.5*12=30 in

    step 3

    Find the actual area of the dog house floor to the nearest tenth inch

    A=48*30=1,440 in²
