Answer:

The width of the actual house is <u>144</u> feet

Step-by-step explanation:

If 0.5 inch represents 4 feet and the blueprint of the house shows the house to be 18 inches wide, then the following proportion must be satisfied:

0.5 inch / 18 inches = 4 feet / x feet

x = 4*18/0.5

x = 144 feet
