meters.
If the scale changes to 1 cm : 9 meters, the new length of the garden is

meters and the new width of the garden is

meters.
The new length of the garden is

times as long as the original length of the garden.

Answer 1

• The length of the garden is 21 meters.
• The width of the garden is 5.25 meters.
• If the scale changes to 1 cm : 9 meters, the new length of the garden is 63 meters and the new width of the garden is 15.75 meters.
• The new length of the garden is 3 times as long as the original length of the garden.

Explanation:

Solving

• Scale : 1 cm = 3 m
• Then, length = 7 cm * 3 = 21 m
• width = 1.75 cm * 3 = 5.25 m
• If scale is 1 cm = 9 m,
• length = 7 cm * 9 = 63 m
• width = 1.75 * 9 = 15.75 m

Answer 2

length: 21 meters

width: 5.25 meters

scale changes to 1cm : 9cm

length: 63 meters
