In a diagram of a landscape plan, the scale is 1 cm = 10 ft. In the diagram, the flowers are 3.9 cm
apart. How far apart should the actual flowers be planted?

• 0.39 ft.
39 cm
39 ft.
• 390 ft.
To find how far apart the actual flowers should be planted, we need to convert the distance in the diagram to actual distance in feet.
Since the scale is 1 cm = 10 ft, we can set up the following ratio:
1 cm / 10 ft = 3.9 cm / x ft
Cross multiplying, we get:
1 * x = 10 * 3.9
x = 39
Therefore, the actual flowers should be planted 39 feet apart. So the correct answer is 39 ft.
