Question

We want to build a swimming pool that is 2m by 6m. On our page it measured out to be 8cm by 24cm. What is tge scale that can be used

Answer 1

Answer:

1:25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Dimensions of swimming pool:

• W = 2 m
• L = 6 m

Dimensions on paper:

• w = 8 cm
• l = 24 cm

Scale is the ratio of same measurements:

• w/W = 8 cm/2 m = 8 cm / 200 cm = 1/25

So the scale is 1:25
