Answer:
- length 3 in
- width 2 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Since none of the answer choices match the drawing of the gardener, we assume the question is referring to the drawing of the partner.
The gardener's drawing is 1/4 of actual size. So, in terms of the gardener's drawing, actual size is ...
gardener's drawing = (1/4)actual size
actual size = 4(gardener's drawing)
__
The partner's drawing is 1/20 of actual size, so is ...
partner's drawing = actual size/20 = (4(gardener's drawing))/20
partner's drawing = (4/20)(gardener's drawing)
partner's drawing = (gardener's drawing)/5
__
Then the {length, width} of the partner's drawing are ...
partner's drawing {length, width} = {15 in, 10 in}/5 = {3 in, 2 in}
The partner's drawing has a length of 3 inches and a width of 2 inches.
