A scale drawing of a rectangular field is 10 centimeters by 8.5 centimeters. If the actual field has dimensions of 40 meters, which could be the scale used for the drawing?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1cm}{4 meters}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the scale, we write a ratio of [tex]\frac{map}{real world}[/tex] and simplify.

Assuming the 40 meter side corresponds to 10 cm, we know [tex]\frac{map}{real world}=\frac{10cm}{40 meters}[/tex]. We simplify to [tex]\frac{1cm}{4 meters}[/tex]
