    That is the scale drawing of the new garden should be (√15) / 5 of the dimensions of the previous garden dimensions

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Here we have, dimensions of the garden = 100 ft by 10 ft

    Therefore, area of the garden = 100 * 10 = 1000 ft²

    The decrease in size of 2/5 its size on the next season is presented s follows;

    Size decrease = 2/5 * 1000 = 400 ft²

    New area of the garden = 1000 - 400 = 600 ft²

    The scale drawing for the new garden is given by the relation;

    Ratio of the sides of the garden = 100:10 = 10:1

    Therefore, whereby the new length, l, and breadth, b, of the garden gives;

    l * b = 600 ft²

    l/b = 10/1

    l = 10·b, which gives

    10·b * b = 600

    b² = 60

    b = √60 = 2·√15

    ∴ l = 20·√15

    Which gives a scale of (2·√15) / 10 = (√15) / 5

    That is the scale drawing of the new garden should be (√15) / 5 of the dimensions of the previous garden dimensions.

    The scale drawing for the new garden is 3:5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given;

    the dimension of the rectangular garden = 100 feet by 10 feet

    Size of the rectangular garden = 100 ft x 10 ft = 1000 ft²

    If by next season the garden decreased by two fifth of its size, then the new size of the garden will be calculated as;

    New size of the garden = old size - (²/₅ of the old size)

    New size of the garden = 1000 ft² - (²/₅ x 1000 ft²)

    New size of the garden = 1000 ft² - 400 ft²

    New size of the garden = 600 ft²

    the scale drawing for the new garden = new size / old size

    = 600 ft² / 1000 ft²

    = ³/₅

    The scale drawing for the new garden is 3:5
