A blueprint of a house has a scale of 1 inch = 0.5 feet if the length of the living room on the blueprint is 3.5 inches what is the actual length of the living room
To find the actual length of the living room, you can set up a proportion considering the given scale:
1 inch on the blueprint = 0.5 feet in reality
Therefore, the proportion is:
1 inch / 0.5 feet = 3.5 inches / x feet
By cross-multiplying and solving for x, we have:
1 * x = 0.5 * 3.5
x = 1.75
So, the actual length of the living room is 1.75 feet.
