Answer :
To find the width of the room in the blueprint, you can set up a proportion using the scale given in the question.
Given:
Actual width of the room = 14 feet
Scale: 2 inches = 3 feet
Let x be the width of the room in the blueprint.
Setting up the proportion:
2 inches / 3 feet = x inches / 14 feet
Now, cross multiply and solve for x:
2 * 14 = 3 * x
28 = 3x
x = 28 / 3
x ≈ 9.33 inches
Therefore, the width of the room in the blueprint is approximately 9.33 inches.
