Question

In a blueprint for a house, the scale is 1 inch = 5 feet. In the blueprint, one room

is 2 inches by 2.5 inches. What are the dimensions of the actual room?

Answer 1

for each inch is 5 feet, so for each 0.5 aka 1/2 inch, it would be 2.5 inches

2in: 5+5=10ft

2.5in: 5+5+2.5=12.5ft

or just simply mutiply by 2

2(5)= 10ft

2.5 inches so 2.5(5)=12.5

The dimensions of the actual room are 10 feet by 12.5 feet
