Question

scale drawing: Steve drew a scale drawing of the town library. The parking lot, which is 45 meters wide in real life, is 126 centimeters in the drawing. What is the scale of the drawing? plz somebody

Answer 1

Answer:

1.05 cm = 75 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert 45 meters into centimeters. You will get 4500 centimeters. Then, convert the numbers into a fraction form (126/4500). Divide the numerator and denominator by 15 to get 4.2/300. If you then divide them both by 4 you will get 1.05/75. This means that every 1.05 cm on the paper represents 75 cm of the real life lot.
