Answer:

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. <u>It will effect the length and width with the same proportion.</u>

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
