Answer :
You are given a
scale down of the original painting into 1/5.
The ship in the original painting is 14 inches. You are required to
estimate the size of the ship in Akio’s drawing. All you need to do is to
multiply 1/5 by 14.
(1/5) (14 inches) = 2.8 inches
Therefore, the scale down of the ship from the original painting is 2.8 inches.
(1/5) (14 inches) = 2.8 inches
Therefore, the scale down of the ship from the original painting is 2.8 inches.
