Scale: 1 box = 5 meters
Reduce the scale drawing of a playground so that it has a scale of 1 box = 20 meters. Which drawing shows the new scale? 8 x 4
The new scale of 1 box = 20 meters means that each box in the new drawing represents 20 meters.
If the original scale was 1 box = 5 meters, the new scale is 4 times larger. Therefore, each box in the original drawing would be divided into four smaller boxes in the new drawing.
So, the new drawing would have 8 x 4 smaller boxes, which represents the new scale of 1 box = 20 meters.
