If the width of the living room on the original blueprint is 6 inches and the length is 9.6 inches, what are the scale and the width of the new blueprint.

Answer:Part a) The scale of the new blueprint is [tex]\frac{5}{8} \frac{in}{ft}[/tex]    Part b) The width of the living room in the new blueprint is [tex]9.4\ in[/tex]Step-by-step explanation:we know thatThe scale of the original blueprint is [tex]\frac{2}{5}\frac{in}{ft}[/tex]and the width of the living room on the original blueprint is 6 inchessoFind the actual width of the living room, using proportion[tex]\frac{2}{5}\frac{in}{ft}=\frac{6}{x}\frac{in}{ft}\\ \\x=5*6/2\\ \\x=15\ ft[/tex]Find the actual length of the living room, using proportion[tex]\frac{2}{5}\frac{in}{ft}=\frac{9.6}{x}\frac{in}{ft}\\ \\x=5*9.6/2\\ \\x=24\ ft[/tex]Find the scale of the new blueprint, divide the length of the living room on the new blueprint by the actual length of the living room [tex]\frac{15}{24} \frac{in}{ft}[/tex]simplify  [tex]\frac{5}{8} \frac{in}{ft}[/tex]      Find the width of the living room in the new blueprint, using proportion[tex]\frac{5}{8}\frac{in}{ft}=\frac{x}{15}\frac{in}{ft}\\ \\x=15*5/8\\ \\x=9.4\ in[/tex]
