    The dimensions of the builders scale drawing is 40 x 32 inches

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the area of the actual crate be 'a'

    Scale factor of Karl = 1:12

    Dimensions = 10 x 8 inches

    Area = 80 square inches

    1:12 = 1/12

    1/12 = 80/a

    a = 80 x 12

    a = 960 square inches

    So dimensions are 120 x 96 inches

    Builders scale factor = 1:3

    Actual Length = 120inches

    Actual width = 96 inches

    Builders drawing length = 120/3

    = 40 inches

    Builders drawing width = 96/3

    = 32 inches

    The dimensions of the builders scale drawing is 40 x 32 inches.
