To find the dimensions of the scale drawing, we need to divide the actual dimensions of the game room by the scale.
The actual dimensions of the game room are 120 feet by 75 feet.
The scale is 1 unit:5 feet.
To find the dimensions of the scale drawing, we divide the actual dimensions by the scale factor.
For the width of the game room, we divide 120 feet by 5 feet:
120 feet ÷ 5 feet = 24 units
Therefore, the width of the scale drawing is 24 units.
For the length of the game room, we divide 75 feet by 5 feet:
75 feet ÷ 5 feet = 15 units
Therefore, the length of the scale drawing is 15 units.
Therefore, the dimensions of the scale drawing are 24 units by 15 units.
