the width of the scale drawing of the office is 2inches. if 1/2inches=3 feet. what is the actual width in feet of the office
For every 1/2 inch of the scale, the actual width is 3 feet.
2 / (1/2) inches = 4

To find the actual width of the office in feet, we need to use the given scale and conversion rate.
We are given that the width of the scale drawing is 2 inches. The scale ratio is 1/2 inches = 3 feet.
Step 1: Set up a proportion to relate the scale drawing to the actual width:
Scale drawing width / Actual width = Scale ratio / Conversion rate
Let's plug in the given information:
2 inches / Actual width = 1/2 inches / 3 feet
Step 2: Cross-multiply and solve for the actual width:
2 inches * 3 feet = 1/2 inches * Actual width
6 inches * feet = 1/2 inches * Actual width
6 inches * feet = 0.5 inches * Actual width
Divide both sides of the equation by 0.5 inches:
6 inches * feet / 0.5 inches = Actual width
12 feet = Actual width
Therefore, the actual width of the office is 12 feet.
