Answer:

The actual length of the room is 40 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Scale = \frac{1}{2}\ inch : 12\ feet

Required

Determine the actual measurement of 3\frac{1}{3}\ inches

Represent the required actual measurement with x

i.e.

3\frac{1}{3}\ inches : x

And we have:

\frac{1}{2}\ inch : 12\ feet

3\frac{1}{3}\ inches : x

Cross Multiply

x * \frac{1}{2} = 12 * 3\frac{1}{3}

Convert fraction to improper fraction

x * \frac{1}{2} = 12 *\frac{10}{3}

\frac{x}{2} = \frac{120}{3}

\frac{x}{2} = 40

Multiply both sides by 2

x = 40 * 2

x = 80\ feet

<em>The actual length of the room is 40 feet</em>
