Question

Barry wants to make a drawling this is 1/2 the size of the original. If a tree in the original drawling is 11 inches tall and 7 inches wide, what will be the length and width of the tree in Barry's drawling?

Answer 1

Answer: 5.5 inches, 3.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Barry wants to make a drawing i.e. half the size of original

The length and width of the original drawing are  11 inches and 7 inches respectively.

So, the intended drawing is obtained by multiplying the original dimensions by $\frac{1}{2}$

The length of barry's drawing is

$\Rightarrow 11\times \frac{1}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow 5.5\ \text{inches}$

The breadth of barry's drawing

$\Rightarrow 7\times \frac{1}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow 3.5\ \text{inches}$
