On the blueprint of Lauren's new office building, the scale is ¼ in. equals 1 ft. What will be the actual length of Lauren's office if it measures 4 in. long on the blueprint?

4ft

1/4 in = 1 ft

1 in = 4 ft
4 in = 16 ft

To find the actual length of Lauren's office, we need to use the scale provided on the blueprint.

According to the scale, 1/4 inch on the blueprint represents 1 foot in real life.

Given that the length of Lauren's office on the blueprint is 4 inches, we can use this information to determine the actual length in feet.

Since the scale is 1/4 inch equals 1 foot, we can set up a proportion to solve for the actual length:

1/4 inch = 1 foot
4 inches = ? feet

To find the value of ?, we can multiply both sides of the proportion by the length on the blueprint:

4 inches * 1 foot / 1/4 inch = ? feet

Simplifying the expression, we get:

4 * 1 / 1/4 = ? feet

Multiplying by the reciprocal of 1/4, the expression becomes:

4 * 4 = ? feet

Therefore, the actual length of Lauren's office would be 16 feet.
