Transcribed Image Text:**Question 21 of 50**

**Explanation:**
To solve this problem, use the scale provided on the blueprint.
1. The scale indicates that 1 inch on the blueprint equals 10 feet in real life.
2. If the closet measures 0.5 inches on the blueprint, multiply this by the scale factor.
Calculation:
0.5 inches * 10 feet/inch = 5 feet
So, the real-life width of the closet is 5 feet.
