Answer:

4 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

given that the ratio of the floor plan with that of the actual measurement =

1 inch : 2 feet....................(1)

so we have to find the length of the house on the floor plan if the actual measurement is 8 feet.

using eq (1), we can say that the length on the floor plan will be half of the actual length.

therefore if the actual length of the house is 8 feet, then

length of the house on the floor plan = 8/2

= 4 inch
