Answer:

Option D is correct choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that an architect's electronic blueprint of a building has a scale of 1 inch equals 12 feet.

To find actual distance between the floor on the first floor and the floor on the 15th floor we will multiply blueprint distance by 12.

14.375\text{ inches} \cdot 12\frac{\text{ feet}}{\text{ inch}}

=172.5\text{ feet}

Therefore, actual distance between the floor on the first floor and the floor on the 15th floor is 172.5 feet.

Answer:

Option D. 172.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

An architect's electronic blueprint of a building has a scale of 1 inch = 12 feet.

It is given that the distance between first floor and 15th floor = 14.375 inches.

We will make a set up of equal ratio.

\frac{\text{12 feet}}{\text{1 inches}} = \frac{\text{x feet}}{\text{14.375 inches}}

x = 14.375 × 12

x = 172.5 feet

Option D. The two floors are 172.5 feet apart.
