The scale of the drawing is 1 mm = 4 m ⇒ A
Step-by-step explanation:
A city planner makes a scale drawing of a new school
- The school is 24 mm long in the drawing
- The actual length of the school is 96 meters long
We need to find the scale of drawing
The scale drawing must be represent that 1 mm is equivalent to how many meters, to find that use the ratio method
∵ The drawing length is 24 mm
∵ The actual length is 96 meters
Put the drawing length = 1, to find the actual length equivalent to 1
→ Drawing length (mm) : Actual length (m)
→ 24 : 96
→ 1 : x
By using cross multiplication
∵ 24 × x = 1 × 96
∴ 24 x = 96
- Divide both sides by 24
∴ x = 4
∵ x represent the actual scale
∴ 1 mm represents 4 meters
The scale of the drawing is 1 mm = 4 m
