10) Mr. Parker wants to draw a floor plan of his office, which measures 15 feet wide by 17.5 feet long. He is using the scale 1 2 inch = 3 feet to draw his floor plan. What will be the width of his office on the floor plan?

Answer 1

the width of his office on the floor plan is 2.5 in.

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)* {1}{3}=(1)/(6)\ inch\\\\15\ feet=(15)/(6)=(5)/(2)=2.5\ inches`

Hence, Width of his office on the floor plan is 2.5 inches.
