Answer:

365 and 1/2 blocks will be used

The scale fact is 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

So . .

  • We create a ratio 1:2

This represents 1 block is equivalent to 2 feet

  • Simply 1450 ÷ 2 = 725

So . . There are 725 feet and because One block is equal to 2 feet you divide 725 ÷ 2 =  362.5 blocks will be used

To find the scale factor simply divide the deminsions of the new shape by old

  • 362.5 ÷ 1450 = .25
