In an illustration of a ladybug, the length of the ladybug is 5.6 centimeters. The actual length of the ladybug is 0.7 centimeter. What is the scale of the drawing?

a.1 cm = 1.25 cmc.1 cm = 0.125 cmb.1 cm = 0.125 md.1 cm = 12.5 cm

Respuesta :

{0.7}/{5.6} = {1}/{8}
therefore:
1 cm = 0.125cm

Answer:

The scale of the drawing is:

               1 cm = 0.125 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

In an illustration of a ladybug, the length of the ladybug is 5.6 centimeters. The actual length of the ladybug is 0.7 centimeter.

The scale of a drawing is the value by which the actual size of a object is reduced or enlarged.

The scale of the drawing is: 1 cm = 0.125 cm

(  i.e. if the model has a length of 1 cm then the actual length is: 0.125 cm.

Hence, if the length of model is : 5.6 cm then the actual length is: 5.6×0.125=0.7 cm )
