Luna measured the elernentary school and made a scale drawing, The schoolyard, which
is 175 meters long in real life, is 25 centimeters long in the drawing. What scale did Luna use for the drawing?
To find the scale, we need to determine the ratio of the length in the drawing to the length in real life.
Let's set up a proportion using the given information:
(Length in drawing)/(Length in real life) = (Scale)
Let's plug in the values:
(25 cm)/(175 m) = Scale
We need to convert the meters to centimeters to have consistent units:
(25 cm)/(17500 cm) = Scale
Simplifying the fraction:
1/700 = Scale
Therefore, the scale Luna used for the drawing is 1:700.
