Answer:

0.2 on the plan

Explanation:

The unit is not given, so whatever the unit is will follow. I'm going to say that it is in meters.

25 meters in real life=1 inch (just a guess) on the plan.

25÷5 (the room length given) = 5

1÷5=0.2

You divide them both by the same number so your ratio can have the same rate. Hope this helps.
