On a drawing where 1/4 inch = 1-1/2 feet, a line measuring 2 inches represents an actual distance of what?

To find the actual distance represented by a line measuring 2 inches on a drawing where the scale is 1/4 inch = 1-1/2 feet, it's necessary to first understand the relationship between the drawing measurements and the actual measurements.

1. First, we determine how many 1/4 inch segments are in 2 inches. Since 2 inches can be converted to 1/4 inch segments, we can do the following calculation: [

2 \text{ inches} \div \frac{1}{4} \text{ inch} = 2 \times 4 = 8 \text{ segments of } \frac{1}{4} \text{ inch} ]

2. Each of these segments corresponds to the actual distance of 1-1/2 feet. Therefore, we multiply the number of segments (8) by the actual distance each segment represents: [ 8 \text{ segments} \times 1.5 \text{ feet/segment} = 12 \text{ feet} ]

This means that a line measuring 2 inches on the drawing represents an actual distance of 12 feet. The accurate calculations and understanding of scaling
