To find out how long the room is in inches, we need to divide the actual length of the room by the scale factor.
Actual length of the room = 20 feet
Scale factor = 1 inch = 4 feet
Therefore, the length of the room in inches can be calculated as:
20 feet รท 4 = 5 inches
Thus, the room in the hotel is 5 inches long on the scale drawing.
