Since the model does not have a roof, let's find the surface area without a roof of ACTUAL room
16 *10 +2*8*10 + 2*8*16 = 576 sq feet
576 sq feet is represented by 2304 square inches.
so 1 sq feet is represented by 2304/576 = 4 square inches.
The answer has to be in inches per foot.
so if 1 sq feet is represented by 4 square inches.
1 foot will be represented by 2 inches[/b]
Answer is in inches per feet = 2 inches /1 feet = 2 inches per feet
Answer: D
