Answer:

  • length 3 in
  • width 2 in

Explanation:

Since none of the answer choices match the drawing of the gardener, we assume the question is referring to the drawing of the partner.

The gardener's drawing is 1/4 of actual size. So, in terms of the gardener's drawing, actual size is ...

gardener's drawing = (1/4)actual size

actual size = 4(gardener's drawing)

__

The partner's drawing is 1/20 of actual size, so is ...

partner's drawing = actual size/20 = (4(gardener's drawing))/20

partner's drawing = (4/20)(gardener's drawing)

partner's drawing = (gardener's drawing)/5

__

Then the {length, width} of the partner's drawing are ...

partner's drawing {length, width} = {15 in, 10 in}/5 = {3 in, 2 in}

The partner's drawing has a length of 3 inches and a width of 2 inches.
