Answer 1

Answer: The dimension of the smaller garden is 6ft x 3ft

Explanation:

The scale factor given from the question is reduction scale(3/4).

When the scale given is directly multiply by the value from the bigger garden of dimension 8ft x 4ft we have:

First multiply it by the length followed by the width as follows;

8x3/4= 6 then,

4x3/4= 3

So, from here we have the length of the smaller 6ft and the width is 3ft...

The correct answer is 6ft by 3ft.
