Final answer:

The width of the actual open space is 68 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the width of the actual open space, we need to convert the measurement in the scale drawing to the actual measurement using the given scale. The scale in the drawing is 1 inch = 4 yards. The width of the open space in the drawing is 17 inches. So, to find the width of the actual open space, we can set up a proportion:

(17 inches) / (1 inch) = (x yards) / (4 yards)

Cross multiplying, we get:

17 inches * 4 yards = x yards * 1 inch

Simplifying, we find that the width of the actual open space is 68 yards.
