Answer:

7.5in

Explanation:

If the original room's dimensions are (15ft x 10ft). Then the new scaled-down version is (?ft x 5in) we can set up a ratio of 10/5 = 2 to find that the scale from the room to the drawing is being shrunk by a factor of 2. So if you take 15/2 you will get your final answer of the new length of 7.5in!
