architects make detailed drawings of rooms and buildings. conner made a drawing of a bedroom. follow the steps below to make a model of a room of your choosing.
step 1 measure the length of three objects in the room. record each length to the nearest \\(\frac{1}{2}\\) foot in the table below.

object	length (ft)	length (units)

step 2 let 1 unit represent 2 feet. so, 4 units = 8 feet. convert all your measurements to units. record these values.
step 3 on grid paper, make a drawing of your room like the one shown.

Explanation:

Step1: Pick 3 common room objects

Choose a bed, a nightstand, and a dresser.

Step2: Record real lengths (ft)

Bed: $6$ ft, Nightstand: $2.5$ ft, Dresser: $5$ ft

Step3: Convert lengths to units

Use conversion: $\text{units} = \frac{\text{length (ft)}}{2}$

• Bed: $\frac{6}{2}=3$ units
• Nightstand: $\frac{2.5}{2}=1.25$ units
• Dresser: $\frac{5}{2}=2.5$ units

Step4: Compile the table

Organize values into the given table structure.

Answer:

Object	Length (ft)	Length (units)
Nightstand	$2.5$	$1.25$
Dresser	$5$	$2.5$

(For Step 3: On grid paper, draw a room outline, then plot the bed as a 3-unit long rectangle, nightstand as a 1.25-unit long rectangle, and dresser as a 2.5-unit long rectangle, arranged like a typical bedroom layout.)
