Question

(25 points, please help! Brainliest!) Mrs. Hanger is painting the following picture of an H to hang in the entryway of her home. She has made the following scale drawing as her model. The scale used on the drawing is 1:6.
As you can see, the "H" is going to be painted brick red in the center of a rectangular beige background. This means the distance from the "H" to the top of the picture will be the same as the distance from the "H" to the bottom of the picture. Similarly, the distance from the "H" to the left side of the picture will be the same as the distance from the "H" to the right side of the picture. Finally, each segment of the "H" will have the same width.


Mrs. Hanger decides to change the scale of her drawing from 1:6 to 1:4.


1. Is the new scale drawing larger or smaller than the original scale drawing? Use complete sentences to explain your reasoning.

2. What are the dimensions of the painting on the new scale drawing?
