if you convert it all to inches (3 inches scale per 24 inches actual, and the height of the shelf becomes 72 inches actual), you can set up a proportion

(3/24)=(x/72) (x being the scaled height of shelf)

then cross multiply and divide

(3*72)/24=x

x = 9 inches

How would you find the scale factor of a drawing that shows a length of 4 inches when the actual object is 8 feet long?

To find the scale factor of the drawing, first convert the actual length from feet to inches since the drawing's length is in inches. There are 12 inches in a foot, so 8 feet equals 96 inches. The scale factor can then be calculated by dividing the drawing length (4 inches) by the actual length (96 inches), resulting in a scale factor of 1:24. This means that 1 inch on the drawing represents 24 inches in reality.
