The scale used in the blueprint is 0.50 in. = 1 ft. This means that every 0.50 inch on the blueprint represents 1 foot in actual measurements. Since the bedroom is 5.5 inches wide on the blueprint, we can calculate the actual width by dividing 5.5 inches by 0.50 inch/ft:
5.5 inches / 0.50 inch/ft = 11 feet
Therefore, the actual width of the bedroom is 11 feet.
