3"x4

Explanation:

The symbol for a foot is "ft", sometimes denoted by a prime(') , also, the inch is denoted by a double prime(").

Given

2 1/2inces (2.5") blue print represents 10ft living room

We are told that the dimension of the room on the blueprint is

12'x16'

Let us convert 12' to inches

So

2.5" represents 10'

X ' will be 12'

Cross multiplying

X=(2.5*12)/10

X=3"

Let us convert 16' to inches

So

2.5" represents 10'

Y ' will be 16'

Cross multiplying

Y=(2.5*16)/10

Y=4"

the dimension of the blue print is

3"x4"
