4/5 by 1

0.8 ft by 1 ft

0.8 ft x 1 ft

Answer:

The correct option is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given information the initial dimensions of Kyra's bed are 4 feet × 5 feet.

The length of and width of the bed are 4 feet and 5 feet.

It is given that she scaled down the dimensions of her bed by a factor [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] . It means the length and width of the new bed are [tex]\frac{1}{5}th[/tex] of initial bed.

[tex]\frac{1}{5}\times 4=\frac{4}{5}=0.8[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{5}\times 5=\frac{5}{5}=1[/tex]

The dimensions of the model bed she built are 0.8 ft × 1 ft, therefore option C is correct.
