    I'm assuming the blueprint shows 1 inch is equal to 10 ft. This means that 1 inch on the blueprint corresponds to 10 feet in real life.

    We have the ratio

    1 inch: 10 feet

    If we multiply both sides by 0.5 then,

    0.5 * (1 inch) : 0.5 * (10 ft)

    0.5 inch : 5 feet

    So 0.5 inches (aka half an inch) on the blueprint corresponds to 5 feet in real life.

    Answer: A) 5 feet
