From the information given,

current scale is

1 unit = 6 yds

Looking at the graph, a unit represents a small box on the graph. We can see that

length = 5 boxes = 5 units = 5 x 6 = 30 yds

width = 2 boxes = 2 units = 2 x 6 = 12 yds

We want to represent 30 yds by 12 yds with a scale of 1 unit = 3 yds

Considering the length, we have

3 yds = 1 unit,

30 yds = 30/3 = 10 units

Considering the width, we have

3 yds = 1 unit,

12 yds = 12/3 = 4 units

Thus, the new figure would have a length of 10 units and a width of 4 units
