Belle made a scale drawing of the elementary school. The scale she used was 1 millimeter : 6 meters. If the school yard is 11 millimeters in the drawing, how wide is the actual school yard?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The actual  length of the school yard  =   66 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given scale is 1 millimeter : 6 meters

Now, the  length of the yard given in the drawing  = 11 millimeters

Let us assume the actual length of the school yard  =  k meters

So, according to the question:

k meters = 11 millimeters

Now, 1 millimeters  = 6 m

So, 1 x 11 millimeters = 6 x 11  meters  ( Multiplying both sides by 11)

or, 11 millimeters  = 66 meters

or, k = 66 m

Hence, The actual  length of the school yard  =   66 m
