Answer:

Part a) The scale of the new blueprint is \frac{5}{8} \frac{in}{ft}    

Part b) The width of the living room in the new blueprint is 9.4\ in

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale of the original blueprint is

\frac{2}{5}\frac{in}{ft}

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>

\frac{2}{5}\frac{in}{ft}=\frac{6}{x}\frac{in}{ft}\\ \\x=5*6/2\\ \\x=15\ ft

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

\frac{2}{5}\frac{in}{ft}=\frac{9.6}{x}\frac{in}{ft}\\ \\x=5*9.6/2\\ \\x=24\ ft

<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

\frac{15}{24} \frac{in}{ft}

simplify  

\frac{5}{8} \frac{in}{ft}      

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

\frac{5}{8}\frac{in}{ft}=\frac{x}{15}\frac{in}{ft}\\ \\x=15*5/8\\ \\x=9.4\ in

There will be two squares.

Think about it: The shorter side is 3.5 feet. The longer side is 7 feet. If he cuts it in half on the longer side, he's taking the length of that longer side, and dividing it by 2. 7/2=3.5.

So, you'd have two squares, both with a length and width of 3.5 feet.
