Question

question 8 of 50
a blueprint shows 1\ = 10 if the width of a closet on the blueprint is 0.5\, then width of the closet in real life is
3
8
12
4
5

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the scale

The blueprint scale is \( 1'' = 10' \), meaning 1 inch on blueprint equals 10 feet in real.

Step2: Calculate real width

Blueprint width is \( 0.5'' \). Multiply by scale factor: \( 0.5 \times 10 = 5' \). Wait, no—wait, 1 inch is 10 feet, so 0.5 inches is \( 0.5 \times 10 = 5 \)? Wait, no, wait the options have 5'? Wait, let me recheck. Wait, maybe I misread. Wait, the options: 3', 8', 12', 4', 5'. Wait, 1'' = 10', so 0.5'' is \( 0.5 \times 10 = 5' \). So the real width is 5 feet.

Answer:

5' (the option with 5')
