Answer:

approximately 12.67 feet (not sure about this)

Explanation:

We know that Monica's scale drawing of her room is 7.4 inches long and 5 inches wide. Let's call the width of her actual bedroom "w".

To find the width of the actual room, we need to set up a proportion using the scale factor:

scale factor = length on drawing / actual length

Since we know the length on the drawing is 7.4 inches and the actual length is 18.75 feet, we can set up the following proportion:

7.4 inches / 18.75 feet = 5 inches / w

To solve for w, we can cross-multiply:

7.4 inches * w = 18.75 feet * 5 inches

Simplifying:

7.4w = 93.75

Dividing both sides by 7.4:

w = 12.67 feet

Therefore, the width of Monica's actual bedroom is approximately 12.67 feet.
