Answer 2

answer: width of his office on the floor plan is 2.5 inches
Explanation:
since we have given that
width of his office = 15 feet
length of his office = 17.5 feet
since we have given that mr. parker is using the scale.
1/2 inch = 3 feet
we need to find the width of his office on the floor plan.
3 feet = 1/2 inch
1 feet = 1/2 x 13 = 1/6 inch
15 feet = 15/6 = 5/2 = 2.5 inches
