Answer:
2 feet by 1.25 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The arcade floor has dimensions 120 ft by 75 ft.
The scale of the drawing on grid paper is 1 in : 5 feet. This is a reduced scale. This means that the size of the arcade floor was reduced in the drawing.
Let us simply the ratio 1 in : 5 feet.
1 foot = 12 inches
=> 5 feet = 5 * 12 = 60 inches
The ratio can be rewritten as 1 in : 60 in = 1 : 60.
Hence, multiply the individual dimensions of the arcade floor by [tex]\frac{1}{60}[/tex].
120 feet will be:
120 * [tex]\frac{1}{60}[/tex] = 2 feet
75 feet will be:
75 * [tex]\frac{1}{60}[/tex] = 1.25 feet
Therefore, the dimensions of the scale drawing are 2 feet by 1.25 feet.
