A blueprint shows the master bedroom to be 5 inches long and 3 inches wide. The scale on the blueprint is 2 inches : 11 feet. What is the area (in sq ft) of the actual bedroom?

The area of the bedroom actually is 453.75 sq ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A blueprint shows the master bedroom to be 5 inches long and 3 inches wide.

The scale on blueprint is 2 inches : 11 feet.

It means 2 inches = 11 feet.

Then,

1 inches feet = 5.5 feet.

So,

The length of the bedroom is 5 inches = (5×5.5) feet=27.5 feet

The wide of the bedroom is 3 inches = (3×5.5) feet= 16.5 feet

The area of the bedroom actually is = length × wide

                                                            =(27.5×16.5) square ft

                                                            =453.75 square ft

6,250

step-by-step explanation:

to get the area, multiply 360 by 160.(57,600)

to find out how many bags of fertilizer it will take, first figure out how many square feet one bag can hold. divide 1000 by 8(125) to get the unit rate(how many square feet one pound of fertilizer can hold)and multiply it by 50(6250). if i haven't made a mistake, that is the answer.
