Answer:
The dimensions of the herb garden on the scale drawing are 2.4 by 6 inches
Step 1 (finding the scale factor):
12/10 (inches/feet) or 1.2 (inches/feet)
(1.2 inches in the drawing represent 1 foot in real life)
Step 2 (finding the dimensions of the herb garden on the scale drawing):
Real life dimensions are 2ft by 5ft so we multiply by the scale factor:
2ft = 2 x 1.2 = 2.4 inches
5ft = 5 x 1.2 = 6 inches
So the dimensions of the herb garden on the scale drawing are 2.4 by 6 inches.
