Scale drawing: a rectangle with length 4 feet and width 3.75 feet. Initial dimensions: a rectangle with length 24 feet and width
15 feet. New dimensions: a rectangle with length 20 feet and width 18.75 feet. Abdul planned a pool to be 24-feet long. To fit in his yard, however, the pool can only be 20-feet long. Abdul’s ratio and work is below. Where did he make an error?
StartFraction 24 feet divided by 6 over 20 feet divided by 6 EndFraction = StartFraction 4 over 3 EndFraction
Abdul’s work is correct.
Abdul should have divided by 5, not 6.
Abdul should have divided by 4, not 6.
This problem has no change in the scale factor.
