First, find the area of the plot.
Area = length x width
Area = 12 x 5
Area = 60 square feet.
The ratio of the scale to the plot is 1 inch : 2 feet
Square each of those:
1 square inch : 4 square feet
The plot is 60 square feet. 60 sq ft / 4 sq ft = 15
The area of the plot in the scale drawing is 15 square inches.
