First we would need to find the portion of the gymnasium to the blueprint to do that please do this:

88/5.5 = 16

The length divided by the blueprint's length

Since we know that the gymnasium is 16 times the blueprint, to find the width divide 16 to 76:

76/16 = 4.75

The width divided by the 16 times

The width of the blueprint is 4.75 inches

Scale = [tex]\frac{88}{5.5}[/tex] = 16 feet/inch

or 16 feet = 1 inch

Hence, Width = 76 feet x 1 inch/16 feet or [tex]\frac{76}{16}[/tex]= 4.75 inches

Hence, width on the blueprint = 4.75 inches.
