Question:

Abel planned for a garden to be 42 m long but found that it needs to be 24 m long to fit in his backyard. He found the change of scale below.

\frac{42m}{7}/{\frac{24m}{7} = \frac{6}{4}

Which is Abel’s error?

Abel should have written the ratio as 24 metres/7 metres

Abel should have written the ratio as 24 metres/42 metres

Abel should have divided both numbers by 6.

Abel should have divided both numbers by 4.

Answer:

Abel should have divided both numbers by 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Measured Length of backyard = 42m

Actual Length of backyard = 24m

Measured Ratio: \frac{42m}{7}/{\frac{24m}{7} = \frac{6}{4}

Required

Error in calculation of measured ratio

From Abel's calculation:

It can be observed that He divided both numbers by 7

Though 42/7 = 6 but that's not so for 24/7

24/7≠4;

Instead 24/7 = 3.43 (Approximated)

To get the actual ration, he has to divide both numbers by the highest common factor

The common factors of 42 and 24 include 2,3,6 of which the highest is 6

Hence; HCF of 42 and 24 = 6

So, we can conclude that the error in his calculation is having not dividing both numbers by 6

Answer:

6 units by 12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the measurements in meters are multiples of 4, it makes this problem a little easier.

First you divide 8 by 4 to get 2

Then divide 16 by 4 to get 4

After that you're going to multiply 3 units by both quotients separately.

So you multiply 3 by 2 to get 6

Then you multiply 3 by 4 to get 12

So then you end up with a 6 unit by 12 unit drawing.
