To find the distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville on Arturo's drawing, we need to look for the scale factor between the distances on the actual map and the distances on Arturo's drawing.
Let's say that the actual distance between Lewis City and Bellstown is 30 miles on the map. If on Arturo's drawing this distance is represented by 6 centimeters, then the scale factor is 30 miles : 6 centimeters = 5 miles per centimeter.
Therefore, if the actual distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville is 20 miles, on Arturo's drawing it would be 20 miles รท 5 miles/cm = 4 centimeters.
So, the distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville on Arturo's drawing would be 4 centimeters.
