A blueprint of a house has a scale of 1 inch = 0.5 feet if the length of the living room on the blueprint is 3.5 inches what is the actual length of the living room

Answer 1

To find the actual length of the living room, you can set up a proportion considering the given scale:

1 inch on the blueprint = 0.5 feet in reality
Therefore, the proportion is:
1 inch / 0.5 feet = 3.5 inches / x feet

By cross-multiplying and solving for x, we have:
1 * x = 0.5 * 3.5
x = 1.75

So, the actual length of the living room is 1.75 feet.
