Convert the inches to decimals. 4 foot 5 inches would equal 4 5/12. So, if 1' = 1/4' or 3",

4' 5" = 1' (5/12 x 1/4),

4'5" = 1' 5/48', I think.

1/4" = 1foot then it is the 1/48 scale.

4 feet 5 inches is 53 inches.

53/48=1.1041667 inches.

Convert 4 feet 5 inches into decimal feet : 4.417 feet. Now multiply that by 1/4: 1.104 . . . which is the length of the line on your paper (in inches) that would represent 4 feet 5 inches

First, I would suggest getting a scale ruler: they tend to simplify matters. Or AutoCAD...

Your scale is: 1 foot in real life equals 1/4 inch on the page. You just have to multiply the number of feet you have in your measurement by the scale factor ie: 1/4.

4'5" equals 4.417 feet (not 4.5 feet!) (53 inches divided by 12)

Therefore your measurement on paper should be 1.104 inches. To figure out the .104 in a real measurement, mulitply by 32 to find out how many 1/32 of an inch it is (3.3).

Your 4'5" in real life is therefore about 1 - 3/32" on the page in a 1'0"=1/4" scale.

If you mean a quarter of a foot, or three inches, it's easy. Lay out your four foot measuring device (48 inches) and use the five inch device to succesively subtract five inches from that length nine times (5*9=45). The remainder is three inches; a quarter of a foot.

Well if one foot = a 1/4 or 3 inches

use the proportion

1 ft 4 5/12 ft
______ = ________
1/4 X

solve by

1 * X = 1/4 * 4 5/12 ft

X= 1.1046 or 53/48 or 1 5/48 (whatever your 1/4 unit is)

She's perfectly fine. I reserched it on the internet and it says she's a healthy weight. :) But I need help, I'm underweight. I'm 12 years old 5"1.5 and only 80 pounds. I eat a reasonable amount, but I just don't gain. :(
