    2" by 3.467"

    Step-by-step explanation:

    You can write the proportion ...

    (print length) / (print unit) = (floor length) / (floor unit)

    print length = (print unit) * (floor length) / (floor unit)

    For floor length = 15', ...

    print length = (1") (15') / (7.5') = 2"

    For floor length 26', ...

    print length = (1") (26') / (7.5') = (52/15) " = 3 7/15" ≈ 3.467"

    The office will be approximately 2" by 3.467" on the drawing.
