a lawnmower designer wants to build a lawn mower that measures 3 ft in height to feet in width and 5 feet in length he needs to construct a three dimensional scale model of the lawn mower which measurements are appropriate for the scale model?
Answer: I assume you meant 2ft in width, so you could scale it down to 1/12 scale, and make it 3in*2in*5in, or you can go with 1/2 scale, to make it 1.5ft*1ft*2.5ft.
