Barry wants to make a drawing that is 1/4 the size of the original.if a tree in the original. Drawing is 14 inches tall and 5 inches wide,what will be the length and width of the tree in Barry's drawing?
(1/4) * 14 = ?
(1/4) * 5 = ?
To find the length and width of the tree in Barry's drawing, we need to calculate 1/4 of the original dimensions.
Let's start with the height:
Original height = 14 inches
Barry's drawing height = 1/4 * original height
To find 1/4 of a quantity, you can divide it by 4. So, let's divide the original height by 4:
Barry's drawing height = 14 inches / 4
Barry's drawing height = 3.5 inches
So, the height of the tree in Barry's drawing will be 3.5 inches.
Now, let's find the width:
Original width = 5 inches
Barry's drawing width = 1/4 * original width
Again, divide the original width by 4:
Barry's drawing width = 5 inches / 4
Barry's drawing width = 1.25 inches
Therefore, the width of the tree in Barry's drawing will be 1.25 inches.
To summarize:
Length of the tree in Barry's drawing = 3.5 inches
Width of the tree in Barry's drawing = 1.25 inches
