Answer:
Part a) The scale of the new blueprint is
Part b) The width of the living room in the new blueprint is 
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The scale of the original blueprint is

and
the width of the living room on the original blueprint is 6 inches
so
<em>Find the actual width of the living room, using proportion</em>

<em>Find the actual length of the living room, using proportion</em>

<em>Find the scale of the new blueprint</em>, divide the length of the living room on the new blueprint by the actual length of the living room

simplify
<em>Find the width of the living room in the new blueprint, using proportion</em>

67.7 cus 23 divided by .35 is 65.7+2 =67.7
To find the perimeter of this blue figure, add together the shown lengths of the six sides.
The three measurements on the top have the LCD 4, so we combine 14 3/4, 4 2/4 and 8 2/4. The sum is 26 7/4, or 27 3/4, or 27.75.
The three measurements on the bottom share the LCD 5, so we can immediately combine them, obtaining 32 8/5, or 33 3/5, or 33.60.
Combining 27.75 and 33.60 results in 61.35, or 61 35/100, or 61 7/20.
The perimeter of the given figure is 61 7/20.
You can multiply the number of laps each person ran by the yards in each lap and then add them together:
440 + 2(440) + 3(440) + 4(440)
= 440 + 880 + 1,320 + 1,760
= 4,440 yards
Or you can add the laps first, then multiply by the yards in each lap
(1 + 2 + 3 + 4)(440)
= 10 x 440
= 4,400 yards
