The blueprint is a scale drawing of the building. A scale drawing is a reduced form in terms of dimensions of an original image / building / object
The scale of a drawing is usually written in this format – length in the drawing, a colon (:), then the matching length on the original image. An example of a scale is 1 inch 12 feet. This scale means that 1 inch of the blueprint represents 12 feet of the building.
Width of the building on the blueprint = 48 / 12 = 4 inches
