If a blueprint has a scale of 1/4 inch equals 1 foot, what does a measurement of 6-5/8 inch represent?

To determine what a measurement of 6-5/8 inches represents on a blueprint with a scale of 1/4 inch equals 1 foot, it is important to first convert the measurement from blueprint inches to real-world feet.

The scale indicates that for every 1/4 inch on the blueprint, it represents 1 foot in actual size. To find out how many feet correspond to 6-5/8 inches, you can first convert the inches into quarters of an inch. Since 1 inch equals 4 quarters, 6-5/8 inches can be converted as follows:

1. Convert the whole number and fractional inches to quarters:

• 6 inches is equal to 6 x 4 = 24 quarters.

• 5/8 inch is equal to (5/8) x 4 = 2.5 quarters.

2. Add these together:

• 24 quarters + 2.5 quarters = 26.5 quarters.

Next, since each 1/4 inch represents 1 foot, you can convert the total quarters back to feet:

• 26.5 quarters means there are 26 full feet plus an additional 0.5 foot (since 0.
