Answer 2

Answer:

2:1 that is 2 inches in real life is equal to 1 inch in the drawing.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Longest side of the pool = 10 inches

Longest side of the pool in drawing = 5 inches

Scale:

We find the ratio of the real length of pool and the measurement of the length of the pool in the drawing.

$\text{Scale} = \dfrac{10\text{ inches}}{5\text{ inches}} = 2:1$

Thus, we can say Paco's new drawing follows a scale of 2:1 that is 2 inches in real life is equal to 1 inch in the drawing.
