This is a terrible question. Send the publisher a nasty note.
First let's answer the question.
Cosine is adjacent over hypotenuse, so the cosine of the angle labeled 16 degrees is 24 (the adjacent side to 16 degrees) divided by 25 (the hypotenuse).
Answer: 24/25
---------
Now I'm going to complain about the question. 24/25 is of course 0.96 exactly, while
cos 16° ≈ 0.96126169593831886191649704855706487352569
They're not the same, and never think 24/25 is the cosine of 16 degrees. It's approximately the cosine of 16 degrees; there's a big difference.
The cosine of 16 degrees is some awfully complicated algebraic number, a zero of some high degree polynomial with integer coefficients. Worse yet, the angle whose cosine is 24/25 is almost certainly a transcendental number, not the zero of any such polynomial.
Trigonometry as practiced forces approximations to be employed. Let's not sweep that under the rug in the questions, please.
To keep it the same you need to divide 50 by 2 just like 60 got divided by 2. answer is 30:25

Given that the dimensions of the rectangle are 50 yards by 35 yards length. The scale used to construct the model of the rectangle was as follows;
Given that 10 inches represents 35 yards, then the scale will be:
10:35
=1:3.5
We can therefore conclude that:
1 inch represents 3.5 yards
