Clayton drew a scale drawing of a hotel. The scale of the drawing was 1 inch : 8 feet. A room in the hotel is 3 inches long in the drawing. How long is the actual room?
___ feet
To find the length of the actual room, we need to multiply the length of the drawing by the scale factor.
The scale factor is 8 feet per 1 inch.
The length of the drawing is 3 inches.
So, the actual length of the room is 3 inches * 8 feet/inch = 24 feet. Answer: \boxed{24}.
