Which scale would produce the largest scale drawing of an object when compared to the actual object?
A.1 inch : 5 feet
B.1 inch : 30 inches
C.1 foot : 12 yards
D.1 centimeter : 1 meter
Is there any math teachers on yet? 😕
No, not yet. When math and science tutors come online is not predictable.
To determine which scale would produce the largest scale drawing, we need to compare the ratios of the scales. The larger the ratio, the larger the scale drawing will be in relation to the actual object.
Let's calculate the ratios for each option:
A. 1 inch : 5 feet = 1 inch / 5 feet = 1/60
B. 1 inch : 30 inches = 1 inch / 30 inches = 1/30
C. 1 foot : 12 yards = 1 foot / 12 yards = 1/36
D. 1 centimeter : 1 meter = 1 centimeter / 1 meter = 1/100
Comparing the ratios, we can see that:
A. 1/60
B. 1/30
C. 1/36
D. 1/100
Based on these ratios, the option with the largest ratio is option B, 1 inch : 30 inches. Therefore, option B would produce the largest scale drawing of the object when compared to the actual object.
