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
