Since you have a scale from the problem, you need to use a proportion to solve it. You are comparing the actual feet to the inches in the blueprint. So, your proportion should be set up to look like: $\"%28%281%2F4%29%2F1%29+=+%28x%2F22%29\"$ . To solve the proportion, cross multiply and divide: (22 x 1/4 = 5.5; 5.5 divided by 1 = 5.5). \n" ); document.write( "
