Answer:

length of room on blueprint will be = 2 inch.

Explanation:

The scale used on a blueprint is

1/4 inch = 3 feet

Then we have to calculate the length of a room on scale with an actual length of 24 feet.

To solve these questions of conversion from one unit to other we should always use unitary method.

∵ 3 feet actual length represents the length on scale = 1/4 inch.

∴ 1 feet actual length will be represented on scale = (1/4)/3 = 1/12 inch.

∴ 24 feet actual length will be measured on scale = (1/12)×24 = 2 inch.

Therefore answer is 2 inch.
