E. Length A of the book’s garden is 9 ft longer than length A of Rasheeda’s garden.

Explanation:

step 1

Find the dimension of the book's garden

we know that

Book scale: 1 inch = 2 feet

That means

1 inch in the drawing represent 2 feet in the actual

To find out the actual dimensions, multiply the dimension in the drawing by 2

so

Length A of the book’s garden

Width B of the book’s garden

step 2

Find the dimension of Rasheeda’s garden

we know that

Rasheeda's Scale: 2 inch = 3 feet

That means

2 inch inches the drawing represent 3 feet in the actual

To find out the actual dimensions, multiply the dimension in the drawing by 3 and divided by 2

so

Length A of Rasheeda's garden

Width B of Rasheeda's garden
