Answer 1

2 feet wide and one foot long you divide each by three and then youll get your answer

Answer 2

Answer:

Dimensions of the garden will be 2 feet wide and 1 feet long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Becky is growing a garden in her backyard which is in the shape of a rectangle having dimensions 6 feet wide by 3 feet long.

Now her husband says he can grow the same amount of crop in a third of the space.

That means Becky's garden can be dilated by a scale factor of $\frac{1}{3}$ to get the dimensions of the garden of her husband.

Therefore, dimensions of her husband's garden will be

Width = $6\times \frac{1}{3}=2$ feet

Length = $3\times \frac{1}{3}=1$ feet

So the dimensions of the garden will be 2 feet wide and 1 feet long.
