Answer 1

Answer:

Length = 3.2feets ; width = 6feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Actual dimension of Mural:

8feets by 15feets

Scale drawing ratio of Mural :

2feets : 5feets

This means :

2 Feets on paper equals 5 Feets of actual drawing:

Therefore, with actual dimension of Length = 8feets ;

Length of scale drawing = (2/5) * 8 = 3.2feets

Actual dimension of width 15feets ;

Width of scale drawing = (2/5) * 15 = 6 Feets
