Question

The dimensions of a garden are 300' by 200'. If a model garden with the

scale of 10' = 1" is to be made, find the dimensions of the model.
A.) 3" by 1"
B.) 30" by 20"
C.) 45" by 10"
D.) 60" by 20"

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

We know that 10' = 1". We want to find a x and y for 300' = x" and 200' = y". We can do this by figuring out ratios between similar values. For the numbers ending in ', we can say that 300/10 = 30 and 200/10 = 20. Therefore, to get x and y, we can multiply

10' = 1" by 30 on both sides to get

300' = 30"

and multiply by 20 on both sides to get

200' = 20"

Therefore, we can say that 300' by 200' = 30" by 20"
