Question

Barry wants to make a drawing that is 1/4 the size of the original. If a tree in the original drawing is 14 inches tall and 5 inches wide, what will be the length and width of the tree in Barry's drawing?

Answer 1

I think the answer would be to divide the inches by 4. So Length would be 3.5 inches and width would be 1.25 inches . I might be wrong but if you have no hope I would go with my answer.

Explanation:

Answer 2

lenght: 3.5 inches.

width: 1.25 inches.

Explanation:

You have the following information:

- The drawing must be 1/4 the size of the original drawing.

- The tree in the original drawing is 14 inches tall and 5 inches wide.

Therefore, keeping the above on mind, you can find the length and width of the tree in Barry's drawing by multiplying the original dimensions by 1/4.

Then, you obtain the result shown below:

`lenght=(1)/(4)*14in=3.5in\\\\width=(1)/(4)*5in=1.25in`
