Elena’s bedroom door is 0.8 m wide. How wide should the door be on the scale drawing, if the ratio is 1 to 50?

Respuesta :

We are given Elena’s bedroom door's width = 0.8 m.

Also the scale drawing is in the ratio of 1 to 50 that is 1/50.

In order to find the width of  scale drawing, we need to multiply original width of the door by 1/50.

If we multiply 0.8 by 1/50, we get

0.8 × 1/50 = 0.8/50 = 0.016 meter.

So, we can say 0.016 meter wide should the door be on the scale drawing, if the ratio is 1 to 50.
