Solution

To solve this problem, we need to use the scale provided. The scale is 1 inch : 5 feet. This means that 1 inch on the drawing represents 5 feet in real life.

The actual length of the countertop is 10 feet. To find out how long the counter is on the drawing, we divide the actual length by the scale.

So, 10 feet ÷ 5 feet/inch = 2 inches.

Therefore, the countertop is 2 inches long on the drawing.
