Answer:

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.
