Bellstown, Lewis city 120km
Bellstown, jenkinsville 40 km
Jenkinsville, Lewis city 60 km
Arturo creates a scale drawing showing these distances. If the distance between Lewis City and Bellstown is 6 centimeters on his drawing, how far apart are Lewis City and Jenkinsville on Arturo's drawing?
To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion. Let's let x represent the distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville on Arturo's drawing.
Based on the information given, we can set up the proportion:
6 cm / 120 km = x cm / 40 km
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
120 km * x cm = 6 cm * 40 km
120x = 240 cm * km
Divide both sides by 120 km:
x = (240 cm * km) / 120 km
Simplifying the right side:
x = 2 cm
Therefore, Lewis City and Jenkinsville are 2 centimeters apart on Arturo's drawing.
