Answer:

Actual length of wall = 30ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We have scale of a room as 3 inch for 5ft.

We can write scaling factor as:

Scaling factor = 3 /60     (Since 5ft = 60 inches )

Scaling factor = 1/20

Now,

a wall in the blueprint is 18inch.

So actual length of wall can be determined by dividing 18 inch by the scale factor.

i.e actual length of wall = 18 / scale factor  = 18 / (1/20)

 actual length of wall = 18* 20 = 360 inch = 30ft (Since 360 inch = 30ft)

Hence Actual length of wall = 30ft
