Answer:
[tex]\frac{11}{32}[/tex] or 0.34375 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
On a scale drawing 55 feet are represented by 20 inches.
∵ 20 inches scale drawing = 55 feet
∴ 1 inch scale drawing = [tex]\frac{55}{20}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{11}{4}[/tex]
∴ [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] inch scale drawing = [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{11}{4}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{11}{32}[/tex] or 0.34375 feet
The scale of [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] inch represents [tex]\frac{11}{32}[/tex] feet.
