Luna measured the elementary school and made a scale drawing the schoolyard which is 175 m long in real life is 25 cm long in the drawing. What scale did Luna use for the drawing?
To find the scale Luna used for the drawing, we need to divide the length of the real schoolyard by the length of the drawing.
Scale = Length of real schoolyard / Length of drawing
Scale = 175 m / 25 cm
Since 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters, we can convert 175 meters to centimeters by multiplying it by 100.
175 m = 175 * 100 cm = 17,500 cm
Now, we can divide the length of the real schoolyard in centimeters by the length of the drawing in centimeters to find the scale.
Scale = 17,500 cm / 25 cm
Simplifying the expression, we get:
Scale = 700
Therefore, Luna used a scale of 1:700 for the drawing of the schoolyard.
