The scale factor for a blueprint is 7cm= ___m Model 40.4 cm actual 80.6m
7 cm/40.4 cm = x m/80.6 m
Solve for x.
To find the scale factor for the blueprint, you need to compare the measurements of the blueprint to the measurements of the actual object.
To do this, divide the length of the actual object by the length of the blueprint:
Scale Factor = Actual Length / Blueprint Length
In this case, the actual length is given as 80.6 meters and the length of the blueprint is given as 40.4 cm.
First, convert the length of the actual object to centimeters:
80.6 meters = 80.6 * 100 centimeters (since there are 100 centimeters in a meter)
= 8060 centimeters
Now, you can calculate the scale factor:
Scale Factor = 8060 cm / 40.4 cm
= 200
Therefore, the scale factor for the blueprint is 200.
