Answer

\( \text{Length on Drawing} = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{120}{5} \)

Steps

Step 1 ：\( \text{Scale Ratio} = \frac{\text{Length on Drawing}}{\text{Length on Playground}} \)

Step 2 ：\( \text{Length on Drawing} = \text{Scale Ratio} \times \text{Length on Playground} \)

Step 3 ：\( \text{Length on Drawing} = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{120}{5} \)
