Trevor measured the town library and made a scale drawing. In real life, the parking lot is 75 meters long. It is 135 centimeters long in the drawing. What scale did Trevor use? 9 centimeters : meters

Respuesta :

Answer: [tex]9\ cm\equiv 5\ m[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The actual length of the parking lot is 75 m

length in the drawing is 135 cm

Here, 75 m is equivalent to 135 cm

Using unitary method

[tex]75\ m\equiv 135\ cm[/tex]

[tex]15\ m\equiv 27\ cm[/tex]

[tex]9\ cm\equiv \frac{15}{3}=5\ \text{m}[/tex]
