2. a rectangular garden is 30 ft long and 18 ft wide. the scale drawing uses 1 inch = 6 ft.

a. find the length of the garden on the drawing.
b. find the width of the garden on the drawing.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate real distance for Q5

$\text{Real distance} = 7 \times 10 = 70$ km

Step2: Convert garden length to drawing (Q6a)

$\text{Drawing length} = \frac{30}{6} = 5$ inches

Step3: Convert garden width to drawing (Q6b)

$\text{Drawing width} = \frac{18}{6} = 3$ inches

Answer:
