Answer 1

First what you do is divide 14 by 4 and you get 3.5 or 3 feet and 6 inches.

Answer 2

Answer: The height of the tree in Barry's drawing =
`3.5\ \text{inches}`

Explanation:

Given: The height of the tree in the original drawing = 14 inches

Since, the height of the tree in the Barry's drawing is 1/4 the size of the original.

Then, the height of the tree in Barry's drawing =
`(1)/(4)*14=3.5\ \text{inches}`

Therefore, the height of the tree in Barry's drawing =
`3.5\ \text{inches}`
