Use the table to answer the question.
Town Town Actual distance between towns
Bellstown Lewis City 120 km
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 Jenkisville on Arturo's drawing?
a. 2 centimeters
b. 0.05 centimeters
c. 12 centimeters
d. 3 centimeters
d. 3 centimeters
Since the actual distance between Lewis City and Bellstown is 120 km and on Arturo's drawing it is represented as 6 centimeters, the scale is 120 km = 6 cm. Using the same scale, the distance between Jenkinsville and Lewis City (60 km) would be 60 km = x cm. Solving for x, we would get x = 3 cm.
