Answer 1

To find the correct reproduction of the playground scale drawing, we need to adjust the dimensions of the rectangle based on the new scale of 1 box = 20 meters.

1. The original dimensions of the rectangle are:
- Length = 8 units (which corresponds to 8 x 5 = 40 meters)
- Width = 4 units (which corresponds to 4 x 5 = 20 meters)

2. Now, under the new scale (1 box = 20 meters), we can determine the new dimensions:
- Length in new scale = 40 meters ÷ 20 meters per box = 2 boxes
- Width in new scale = 20 meters ÷ 20 meters per box = 1 box

So, the rectangle should be 2 units long and 1 unit wide in the new scale drawing.

Looking at the provided options:

- Option 3 shows a rectangle that is 2 units long and 1 unit wide.

Therefore, the correct response is **3**.
