The length of the puma in the drawing, to the nearest tenth of a centimeter is 4.9 centimeter
Solution:
Given that actual length of puma is 2.45 m
The scale of a drawing of puma is 1 cm : 0.5 m
To find: length of the puma in the drawing
From given information,
scale = 1 cm : 0.5 m
This means that, 1 cm is equivalent to 0.5 m in drawing
Therefore, we get
1 cm = 0.5 m
Then for 1 meter we get,
[tex]1 \text{ meter} = \frac{1}{0.5} \text{ centimeter }[/tex]
We have to find the length of puma in drawing
Actual length = 2.45 m
Convert 2.45 meter to centimeter
[tex]1 \times 2.45 \text{ meter } = \frac{1}{0.5} \times 2.45 \text{ centimeter }\\\\2.45 \text{ meter } = \frac{2.45}{0.5} = 4.9 \text{ centimeter}[/tex]
Thus length of the puma in the drawing, to the nearest tenth of a centimeter is 4.9 centimeter
