There was a scale drawing of a rectangular garden you plan to build in your backyard. The drawing shows a width of 5 inches by 8 inches long. The actual length of the garden must be 24feet long. What is the width of the actual garden? What is the area of the garden?

15 feet width of actual garden

360 feet^2 is area

Scale in drawing:

width : length

5 : 8

Actual Meausrements:

x: 24

Actual Width = 5:8

                        x : 24

                       8x = 24 x 5

                       8x = 120

                       120/8 = 15

Area of garden= lxw

15 x 24
