Answer:

The scale is : 1 in : 2.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

An architect notices that the scale on a blueprint he is using has been torn off.

However, he sees that a 12.5-ft. wall that has been built is 5 in. long on the blueprint.

Let the scale be x

$\frac{5}{12.5} =\frac{1}{x}$

So, scale = $x=\frac{12.5}{5}$ = 2.5

So, the answer is : 1 in : 2.5 ft
