    Actual length of wall = 30ft

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We have scale of a room as 3 inch for 5ft.

    We can write scaling factor as:

    Scaling factor = 3 / 60 (Since 5ft = 60 inches)

    Scaling factor = 1/20

    Now,

    a wall in the blueprint is 18inch.

    So actual length of wall can be determined by dividing 18 inch by the scale factor.

    i. e actual length of wall = 18 / scale factor = 18 / (1/20)

    actual length of wall = 18 * 20 = 360 inch = 30ft (Since 360 inch = 30ft)

    Hence Actual length of wall = 30ft
