A stand which measures(10 by 20) metres on ground is drawn at a scale of 1:50.What is the length and width of the house on the drawing

Suppose the scale is reduced by 40%, what is the new scale

1 answer

If the stand measures 10 by 20 metres on the ground and is drawn at a scale of 1:50, the length on the drawing would be 10/50 = <<10/50=0.2>>0.2 metres.
The width on the drawing would be 20/50 = <<20/50=0.4>>0.4 metres.

If the scale is reduced by 40%, the new scale would be 100% - 40% = 60% of the original scale.
Therefore, the new scale would be 0.6 * 1:50 = 0.6:50.
