The scale on a blueprint indicates that ½ " equals 10 feet. What would be the ratio for this blueprint?

Answer 1

Answer:

the ratio for this blueprint is 1:20

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale on a blueprint indicates that ½ " equals 10 feet

The ratio is in the form of a:b

Here from the given information

the value of 'a' is 1/2  and the value of b is 10

so the ratio a:b becomes

$\frac{1}{2} : 10$

Multiply both sides of the ratio by 2 to remove fraction

$1:20$

so the ratio for this blueprint is 1:20
