you would divide 72 by 2=36 times 1.5 = 54

First off, it's important to know that 72 inches is 6 feet. Now, you can go from there. If 2 inches is 3 feet, then how many inches would equal 6 feet? Simply double 2, which is 4, and that is your answer. The width of the door on the drawing is 4 inches. Hope that helps! :)
