Answer:
1 square inch to 16 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The real patio area is
[tex]20\cdot 16=320\ ft^2[/tex]
The dimensions of the scale drawing are
[tex]20:4=5\ in\text{ and }16:4=4\ in,[/tex]
so the area of the scale patio is
[tex]5\cdot 4=20\ in^2[/tex]
The ratio of the area of the scaled drawing to the actual area of the patio is
[tex]20:320=1:16[/tex]
or 1 square inch to 16 square feet.
