Answer:
To find the dimensions of the partner's scale drawing, we need to use the given scale factor and the dimensions of the gardener's scale drawing.
The scale factor of the partner's drawing is 1:5, which means that every 1 unit on the partner's drawing represents 5 units in reality.
The gardener's scale drawing has dimensions of 6 inches long by 3 inches wide.
To find the dimensions of the partner's scale drawing, we need to multiply the dimensions of the gardener's drawing by the scale factor.
For the length:
6 inches x 5 = 30 inches
For the width:
3 inches x 5 = 15 inches
Therefore, the dimensions of the partner's scale drawing are 30 inches long by 15 inches wide.
So, the correct answer is:
A. The length is 18 inches and the width is 9 inches.
