The drawing of a road a pound ,shown below has a scale of 1 inch to 5km

Dimension is 3 inch wide and 5 in long
What is the total distance in km of the actual road
A 16
B 40
C 80
D160

Maybe if you explain what you mean by

a road a pound

we can work it out.

However, the perimeter of the drawing is 16 inches, and 16*5 = 80 so ...

Around a pond

The scale of the drawing is 1 inch to 5 km.

The actual dimensions of the road are 3 inches wide and 5 inches long.

To find the total distance in km of the actual road, we need to convert the dimensions of the drawing to actual distance:

Width of the road = 3 inches * 5 km/inch = 15 km
Length of the road = 5 inches * 5 km/inch = 25 km

Therefore, the total distance of the actual road is 15 km (width) + 25 km (length) = 40 km.

Hence, the correct answer is B) 40.

To find the total distance in kilometers of the actual road, we need to calculate the length of the road in inches and then convert it to kilometers using the given scale of 1 inch to 5 km.

Given:
Width of the road: 3 inches
Length of the road: 5 inches

To find the total distance in inches, we can add the width and length of the road:
Total distance in inches = width + length = 3 inches + 5 inches = 8 inches

Now, we can use the scale of 1 inch to 5 km to convert the distance from inches to kilometers:
Total distance in kilometers = Total distance in inches * Conversion factor

Conversion factor = 5 km/1 inch

Plugging in the values:
Total distance in kilometers = 8 inches * 5 km/1 inch

Canceling out the inches, we get:
Total distance in kilometers = 8 * 5 km = 40 km

Therefore, the total distance in kilometers of the actual road is 40 km.

Answer: B) 40
