A rectangular garden has dimensions of 100 feet by 10 feet. Next season, the garden is decreased to 25 of its size. What is the scale of the new drawing?

is it 25 or 2/5?

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangular garden has dimensions of 100 feet by 10 feet. Next season, the garden is decreased to ⅖ of its size. What is the scale of the new drawing?

if its 2/5 then answer is 1 inch = 5 feet

40 feet by 4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given length (l) = 100 feet

width (w) = 10 feet

As mentioned in the question the size of garden is decreased to 2/5 of its size. It will effect the length and width with the same proportion.

So,

New length = 100 * 2/5 = 40 feet

New width = 10 * 2/5 = 4 feet

Therefore, the scale of new drawing would be 40 feet by 4 feet
