Explanation:

Step1: Use scale - factor relationship

The scale is 1 to 60, which means actual length = drawing length×60. Given drawing length is 2.75 inches. So actual length in inches is $2.75\times60$.
$2.75\times60 = 165$ inches

Step2: Convert inches to feet

Since 1 foot = 12 inches, to convert 165 inches to feet, we divide by 12. So $165\div12=\frac{165}{12}= 13.75$ feet

Answer:

165 inches
13.75 feet
