Answer:
the scaled sail has lengths 1.5 inches, 2 inches, and 2.5 inches. the diagram is attached.
Step-by-step explanation:
a scale factor of 1/4 means that the lengths of each side of the sail will be reduced by 0ne-forth (0.6) its original length. Therefore the lengths of the scale drawing before and after scaling are:
6 inches = 6 × 1/4 = 6 × 0.25 = 1.5 inches
8 inches = 7 × 0.25 = 2 inches
10 inches = 10 × 0.25 = 2.5 inches.
Therefore the scaled sail has lengths 1.5 inches, 2 inches, and 2.5 inches as shown in the diagram attached.

Answer: 68
Explanation:
Let x be the age of Mr Jasmi
y be the age of Miss Haslinda
a + b + c be the age of the 3 children
We can write:
(x + y + a + b + c)/5 = 38
But:
(a + b + c)/3 = 18
a + b + c = 18(3)
a + b + c = 54
Substitute this value to our first equation
(x + y + 54)/5 = 38
x + y + 54 = 38(5)
x + y + 54 = 190
x + y = 190 - 54
x + y = 136
Thus:
Mean age of (mr jasmi and miss Linda) = (x+y)/2
But x + y = 136
=> mean age = 136/2 = 68
