Answer 2

Answer: 30 feet by 55 feet

======================================================

The blueprints say that 1 inch represents 10 feet. This means we can form the equation below

1 inch = 10 feet

Of course 10 feet is much larger than 1 inch, so they cannot be actually equal to one another, but it helps tie together the two quantities. And it also allows us to multiply both sides by 3 to get

3 inches = 30 feet

So 3 inches on paper means we have 30 feet in real life.

Similarly,

1 inch = 10 feet

5.5 inches = 55 feet (multiply both sides by 5.5)

The 3 inch by 5.5 inch rectangle on paper corresponds to a 30 feet by 55 feet rectangle in real life.

----------------

In short, you multiply each given dimension by 10

3 inches goes to 3*30 = 30 feet

5.5 inches goes to 5.5*10 = 55 feet
