The problem asks to find the actual distance between the bed and the rug using the scale drawing. 

The given scale is: 
- **1 inch = 2 feet**

In the drawing, the distance between the bed and the rug is **2 inches**.

To find the actual distance, we use the scale:
\[
\text{Actual distance} = \text{Distance in drawing} \times \text{Scale factor}
\]

So:
\[
\text{Actual distance} = 2 \, \text{inches} \times 2 \, \text{feet per inch} = 4 \, \text{feet}
\]

Thus, the actual distance between the bed and the rug is **4 feet**.

Would you like more details or have any questions?

Here are some related questions to expand your understanding:
1. How would the actual distance change if the scale was 1 inch = 3 feet?
2. If the distance in the drawing was 3 inches, what would the actual distance be using the same scale?
3. How do you determine the scale factor when converting between a scale drawing and actual distances?
4. Can the same method be used for calculating areas using a scale drawing?
5. How would you approach a problem where the scale is not directly provided?

**Tip:** Always check the units of measurement carefully when converting between a scale drawing and the real world.

In the scale drawing, the distance from the bed to the rug is 2 in. What is the actual distance between the bed and the rug?
