Kathy was building a bed for her dollhouse. She used her bed, which is 3 feet × 5 feet, as a guide. She scaled down the dimensions of her bed by a factor 1 over 5 . What are the dimensions of the model bed she built?

Question

0.060 foot × 0.10 foot

0.30 foot × 0.50 foot

0.03 foot × 0.05 foot

0.6 foot × 1.00 foot

Answer 1

The correct answer is 0.6 foot × 1.00 foot.

To find the dimensions of the model bed Kathy built, we simply multiply the original dimensions by the scale factor of 1/5.

3 feet × 1/5 = 0.6 feet
5 feet × 1/5 = 1.00 feet

Therefore, the dimensions of the model bed are 0.6 feet × 1.00 foot.
