Question

The dimensions of a garden are 30' by 20'. If a model garden with the scale of 10' = 5'' is to be made, find the dimensions of the model.

Answer 1

15" by 10"

Explanation:

Use a proportion.

10'/5" = 30"/x

10x = 5 * 30

10x = 150

x = 15"

10'/5" = 20'/y

10y = 5 * 20

10y = 100

y = 10"

Answer: 15" by 10"
