Complete question :

the original blueprint of a concrete patio has a scale of 2 inches=3 feet. victoria wants to make a new blueprint of the patio with a length of 16.8 inches. original blueprints length is 14 inches and original blueprints width is 12 inches. what is the scale for the new blueprint and what is the width of the blueprint with the new scale?

Answer:

2.5 fts, 14.4 fts

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Scale of original blueprint : 2inches = 3 feets

To make a new blueprint with a length of 16.8 inches, the scale for the new blueprint will be :

Original scale : 2 inches = 3 feets

Original blueprint length = 14 inches

Then,

2 inches = 3 feets

14 inches = d

Cross multiply :

2d = 42

d = 21 feets

Hence, new scale for blueprint :

16.8 inches = 21 feets

2 inches = d

16.8d = 42

d = 2. 5 feets

For the width :

14 inches = 16.8 feets

12 inches = w

14w = 201.6

w = 201.6/14

Width = 14.4feets
