Answer:

\(\frac{11}{32}\) or 0.34375 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

On a scale drawing 55 feet are represented by 20 inches.

∵ 20 inches scale drawing = 55 feet

∴ 1 inch scale drawing = \(\frac{55}{20}\)

                                     = \(\frac{11}{4}\)

∴ \(\frac{1}{8}\) inch scale drawing = \(\frac{1}{8}\) × \(\frac{11}{4}\)

                                      = \(\frac{11}{32}\) or 0.34375 feet

The scale of \(\frac{1}{8}\) inch represents  \(\frac{11}{32}\) feet.
