A 1/5 scale model of a prototype air compressor consuming 300 hp and running at a speed

Question:

A 1/5 scale model of a prototype air compressor consuming 300 hp and running at a speed of 1000 rpm delivers a flow rate of 20 lbm s through a pressure ratio of 5. At dynamically and kinematically similar conditions, what would the operating speed, mass flow rate, and power consumption be for the full-scale prototype?
