Question

PLEASEE HELPPPP!!!!

A gardener made a scale drawing of a lawn with a scale factor of 1:15. The dimensions of his drawing are 6 inches long by 3 inches wide.His partner plans to make another scale drawing of the lawn, but with a scale factor of 1:5.

Answer 1

Length = 18 inches

Width = 9 inches

Explanation:

Since the length is 6 inches and it is on a scale of 1:15, by multiplying 6 by 15 you get the intended length of the lawn.

`6*15=90` inches

Do the same for the width

`3*15 = 45` inches

Then divide both values by 5 since the new scale factor is 1:5

This gives you 18 inches for the length and 9 for the width.

Hope this helps :)
