The length of the building in the scale drawing is 31. 25 Inches

<h3>How to determine the value</h3>

From the information given, we have that;

Then,

If 0. 25 inches = 2 feet

Then x inches = 250 feet

cross multiply
x × 2 = 0. 25 × 2500

Multiply through, we have;

2x = 62. 5

Make 'x' the subject by dividing both sides by 2

2x/2 = 62. 5/ 2

x = 31. 25 Inches

Thus, the length of the building in the scale drawing is 31. 25 Inches
