A house blueprint shows the bedroom is 6 inches wide and the actual length of the bedroom is 24 feet wide. If the bedroom has a length of 20 feet what is the length on the blueprint?
To find the length of the bedroom on the blueprint, we can set up a proportion:
Let x be the length of the bedroom on the blueprint.
(6 inches) / (24 feet) = x / (20 feet)
To solve for x, cross multiply:
6 * 20 = 24 * x
120 = 24x
x = 5
Therefore, the length of the bedroom on the blueprint is 5 feet.
