🔍 Key Concepts

• How a 1/2 inch = 1 foot architect’s scale converts drawing inches into feet and inches in real life • Reading the main numbered feet marks versus the small fractional inch divisions on the 1/2" scale • Carefully matching the arrowheads of the dimension line to the exact marks on the scale

💭 Think About

• First, decide how many whole feet are between the two arrowheads on the 1/2" scale. Which numbered marks do they span? • Then, look at where the right-hand arrow falls between the inch subdivisions: how many extra inches (and half-inches) beyond the last whole foot does it represent? • Compare your total (feet + extra inches) with each choice and rule out any option that doesn’t match what the scale actually shows.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm you are reading the upper 1/2" = 1 ft scale, not the 1/4" scale on the bottom. • Count the whole feet marks from zero up to the last full foot clearly inside the dimension line. • Check exactly which small tick mark the arrow touches (full inch, half-inch, or quarter-inch) before converting that to inches added to the whole feet.
