To convert the dimensions of Tomas's front yard rectangle from the original scale (1 box = 5 feet) to a new scale (1 box = 10 feet), we need to first find the actual dimensions in feet and then scale them appropriately.
1. The original dimensions:
- Length: 8 units * 5 feet/unit = 40 feet
- Width: 6 units * 5 feet/unit = 30 feet
2. Now we convert the dimensions for the new scale (1 box = 10 feet):
- To find the new length in units:
- 40 feet Γ· 10 feet/unit = 4 units
- To find the new width in units:
- 30 feet Γ· 10 feet/unit = 3 units
So the new dimensions for the scale of 1 box = 10 feet are:
- Length: 4 units
- Width: 3 units
The correct response is:
- A grid is shown with a rectangle drawn on it. The rectangle is 4 units long and 3 units wide, labeled with 4 and 3 respectively. Scale: 1 box = 10 feet.
