Answer 2

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 x 13 = 1/6 inch

15 feet = 15/6 = 5/2 = 2.5 inches
