since 48 = 4*12
and 120 = 5*24,
the 1:4 scale will work fine
Sarah is making a scale drawing of a painting that is 48 in. wide by 120 in. high. Her paper is 12 in. wide and 24 in. tall. She decides to use the scale 1 in. = 4 in. Is this a reasonable scale?

Thank you!
The scale is 1 in= 4 in.
1:4= .25 or 25%
So 12/48= .25 or 25%
24/120= .2 or 20%
The ratio does not match the height ratio.
