Scale drawings are used to represent a large drawing using smaller measurements
The equivalent of 5" in the drawing is 30' i.e. 30 feet
The scale is given as:
[tex]\mathbf{\frac 12" = 3'}[/tex]
A single quote means feet, while a double quote means inches
So, the scale can be rewritten as:
[tex]\mathbf{\frac 12\ inches= 3\ feet }[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 10
[tex]\mathbf{\frac 12\ inches \times 10 = 3\ feet \times 10}[/tex]
Simplify
[tex]\mathbf{5\ inches = 30\ feet }[/tex]
Rewrite as:
[tex]\mathbf{5" = 30'}[/tex]
Hence, the equivalent of 5" in the drawing is 30' i.e. 30 feet
