A house blueprint shows the bedroom is 6 inches wide and the actual length of the bedroom is 24 feet wide. If the bedroom has a length of 20 feet what is the length on the blueprint?

Answer 1

To find the length of the bedroom on the blueprint, we can set up a proportion:

Let x be the length of the bedroom on the blueprint.

(6 inches) / (24 feet) = x / (20 feet)

To solve for x, cross multiply:

6 * 20 = 24 * x
120 = 24x
x = 5

Therefore, the length of the bedroom on the blueprint is 5 feet.
