The blueprint for the Pelham 's living room has a scale of 2 inches=5 feet. The family wants to use a scale of 1 inch=44 feet. What is the width of the living room on the new blueprint?

(the original width is 8)

5.457 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Letd note that 1 inch = 0.0833 feet

So the initial scale is

2 inches:5 feet.

I. e 0.1666:5 in feet

Original width is 8

So the actual size of the width is

= (8*5) / 0.1666

= 240.096 feet

So the new scale is

1 inch:44 feet

Which is 0.0833:44 in ft

But the actual size of the width in real life is = 240.096

Then in the second scale is

= / (240.096*0.0833) 44

= 0.454545 ft

In inches = 0.4545/0.0833

= 5.457 inch
