Answer:

4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Actual dimensions:

Length = 15 feet

Width = 12 feet

Scale dimensions:

Length = 5 inches

Width = x inches

Write a proportion:

[tex]\dfrac{\text{Actual length}}{\text{Scale length}}=\dfrac{\text{Actual width}}{\text{Scale width}}\\ \\ \\\dfrac{15\ feet}{5\ inches}=\dfrac{12\ feet}{x\ inches}\\ \\x=\dfrac{5\ inches\times 12\ feet}{15\ feet}=4\ inches[/tex]
