Answer:

<em>The correct option is: A. 1 inch = 8 feet</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

In the blueprint, length is 12 inches and width is 8 inches.

In the actual rectangle, length is 96 feet and width is 64 feet.

So,

$\frac{blueprint\ length}{actual\ length}=\frac{12\ inches}{96\ feet}=\frac{1\ inch}{8\ feet}$

and

$\frac{blueprint\ width}{actual\ width}=\frac{8\ inches}{64\ feet}=\frac{1\ inch}{8\ feet}$

So, the scale used: 1 inch = 8 feet
