To find the actual width of the banner based on the scale you've provided, you can use the scale ratio.
Given:
- Scale: 1 inch = 2 feet
- Scale drawing width: 12 inches
To convert the width from inches to feet, you can multiply the width in inches by the scale factor:
\[
\text{Actual width} = \text{Scale drawing width} \times \frac{\text{actual measurement in feet}}{\text{scale measurement in inches}}
\]
\[
\text{Actual width} = 12 \text{ inches} \times 2 \text{ feet/inch} = 24 \text{ feet}
\]
So, the actual width of the banner is **24 feet**.
