Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1 ft = 12 in

so, from 1 inch to 12 inches (1 ft) we have the scale factor 12.

from 1 ft to 2 ft we have an additional factor 2.

so, in total we have the scaling factor 2×12 = 24.

6 in × 5 in on the blueprint is then

6×24 × 5×24 = 144 in × 120 in = 12 ft × 10 ft

in reality.
