Which is correct?

Answer 20

Note: I'm worried about this problem. It is VERY unusual for a scale model of something like a garden to be larger than the garden. We MAY be going the wrong direction. If this one comes back marked incorrect, then it is a very poorly worded question. Definitely 15/9 - AS STATED..

Answer 21

My point is this. If it were a scale model of an atom, I would expect a model to be larger. A garden? Very odd. 15 sq ft isn't much. 1/9 of that? It's a bonsai garden, at best.
