For this case, what we should keep in mind is the following scale factor:

1 unit = 5 feet

We apply the scale factor to each of the dimensions.

We have then:

For 120 feet:


\(\frac{120}{5} = 24 units
\)

For 75 feet:

\(\frac{75}{5} = 15 units
\)

Therefore, the dimensions in the drawing are given by:

24 units by 15 units

Answer:

The dimensions of the scale drawing are:

24 units by 15 units
