In the scale used on a blueprint, 1/4 inch represents 3 feet. On the blueprint, what is the length of a room with an actual length of 24 feet.
To find the length of the room on the blueprint, we need to set up a proportion using the given scale and the actual length of the room.
1/4 inch represents 3 feet
Let x represent the length of the room on the blueprint. We can set up the following proportion:
(1/4) / 3 = x / 24
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
24 * (1/4) = 3 * x
6 = x
Therefore, the length of the room on the blueprint is 6 inches.
