In the scale used on a blueprint, 1/4 inch represents 3 feet. On the blueprint, what is the length of a room with an actual length of 24 feet?
In the scale, 1/4 inch represents 3 feet.
To find the length on the blueprint, we can set up a proportion:
1/4 inch / 3 feet = x inch / 24 feet
Cross-multiplying, we get:
3 feet * x inch = 24 feet * 1/4 inch
3x = 6
Dividing both sides by 3, we have:
x = 2
Therefore, the length of the room on the blueprint is 2 inches.
