The blueprint for the Daly's living room has a scale of 2 inches equals 3 feet. The family wants to use a scale of 1 inchequals5 feet. What is the width of the living room on the new blueprint?
To find the width of the living room on the new blueprint, we need to first determine the width on the original blueprint.
Original blueprint:
Scale: 2 inches = 3 feet
Width on blueprint: 2 inches
Width in real life:
Width on blueprint / Scale = Real width
2 inches / 2 inches = 3 feet
Now, we need to calculate the width on the new blueprint using the new scale of 1 inch = 5 feet.
New scale: 1 inch = 5 feet
Width in real life: 3 feet
Width on new blueprint:
Real width / New scale = Width on new blueprint
3 feet / 5 = 0.6 feet
Therefore, the width of the living room on the new blueprint is 0.6 feet.
