Answer:
choice A, 18
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4 = 0.25
multiply 0.25 by each given dimension
18*0.25 = 4.5
16*0.25 = 4
The smaller scale model table is 4.5 feet by 4 feet, the area of which is
A = length*width = 4.5*4 = 18 square feet
note: it's a coincidence that we get a final result equal to one of the given values.
