Question

On the blue prints for a house, 2 inches represents 3 feet. If the width of a room on

the plan is 6½ inches, what is the actual width of the room?

Please help!!

Answer 1

The actual width would be 9.75 feet. (I think).

Explanation:

If two inches represents three feet, then two inches also represents thirty-six inches. You would then have to set up the proportion
`(2)/(36) = (6.5)/(x)`. Solving that proportion would get you an answer of 117 inches, equal to 9.75 feet. I hope this helps! :)
