I hope this helps

Explanation:

Answer 2

1 square inch to 16 square feet

Explanation:

The real patio area is

`20\cdot 16=320\ ft^2`

The dimensions of the scale drawing are

`20:4=5\ in\text{ and }16:4=4\ in,`

so the area of the scale patio is

`5\cdot 4=20\ in^2`

The ratio of the area of the scaled drawing to the actual area of the patio is

`20:320=1:16`

or 1 square inch to 16 square feet.
