In a scale drawing, the ratio between the measurements on the drawing and the actual measurements is maintained.

Let's assume the scale of the drawing is 1:100. This means that 1 cm on the drawing represents 100 cm in real life.

According to the information given, Ivy's bed measures 5 cm by 4 cm on the scale drawing.

To find the actual measurements, we need to multiply by the scale factor.

Scale factor = 100 cm on the drawing / 1 cm in real life = 100

Actual measurements of Ivy's bed:
Length = 5 cm * 100 = 500 cm = 5 meters
Width = 4 cm * 100 = 400 cm = 4 meters

Therefore, the actual measurements of Ivy's bed are 5 meters by 4 meters.

Apologies for the confusion. If Ivy's bed measures 5 cm by 4 cm on the scale drawing and the actual measurements of her bed are 3.75 meters by 3 meters, then the given answer does not align with the given information.

The actual measurements of Ivy's bed should be:

Length: 5 cm * 100 = 500 cm = 5 meters
Width: 4 cm * 100 = 400 cm = 4 meters

Therefore, the actual measurements of Ivy's bed are 5 meters by 4 meters, not 3.75 meters by 3 meters.
