🔍 Key Concepts

• Architect’s scale reading – how to combine the main numbered feet on the 1/4" = 1 ft scale with the small inch divisions at the left of zero • Difference between 1/2" = 1 ft (top scale) and 1/4" = 1 ft (bottom scale) and which one dimension X is using • Estimating total length by adding whole feet + fractional foot (inches)

💭 Think About

• First, decide which scale (top or bottom) the dimension X arrow is pointing along. What does the note directly under X say about the scale? • On an architect’s scale, where do you read the whole feet, and where do you read the inches/fractions of a foot near the zero end? How does that apply to this picture? • Look at where the right-hand arrowhead falls relative to the numbered marks (4, 5, 6, etc.). How many full feet is that, and then how many extra inches are shown on the small divisions to the left of zero?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm you are using the 1/4" = 1 ft scale for X (not the 1/2" = 1 ft scale). • Identify the last full-foot mark completely covered by X, then add only the small divisions between zero and the left end for the fractional part. • Eliminate any choices that would require X to be many times longer than the physical length of the scale shown (this helps you reject clearly unrealistic answers like very large numbers of feet).
