Explanation:

Steffie makes a scale drawing for a crate with a scale factor of 1:3. The dimensions of her scale drawing are 15 inches long by 12 inches wide. The builder creates a scale drawing of the crate with a scale factor of 1:9. What are the dimensions of the builder's scale drawing? A. The length is 4 inches and the width is 5 inches B. The length is 45 inches and the width is 36 inches. C. The length is 5 inches and the width is 4 inches. D. The length is 36 inches and the width is 45 inches

A scale drawing is a reduced form in terms of dimensions of an original image / building / object

the scale drawing is usually reduced at a constant dimension

scale of the drawing = original dimensions / dimensions of the scale drawing

dimensions of the image steffie scaled = (15 x 3) by (12 x 3) = 45 by 36

Builders scaled image = (45 / 9) by (36 /9) = 5 by 4
