The wall space is 1.3 m
That equates to the length of the garden which is 65 m
So the scale is:
1.3 : 65
But we want to make those integers. Start by multiplying both by 10:
13 : 650
Then reduce the ratio, by dividing both by 13:
1 : 50
Answer:
The scale on the model is 1:50 (meaning each unit of 1 on the model is equal to 50 in real life).
