Town: bells town. Town: Lewis city. Actual Distance Between these two = 120 Km
Town: Bellstown. Town: Jenkinsville. Actual distance between these two: 40 km
Town: Jenkinsville. Town: Lewis City. Actual distance between these two: 60 km
Arturo creates a scale drawing showing these distances. If the distance between Lewis City and Bellstown is 6 centimeters on his drawing, how far apart are Lewis City and Jenkinsville on Arturo’s drawing?
To calculate the distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville on Arturo's drawing, we need to first find the scale of the drawing.
The actual distance between Lewis City and Bellstown is 120 km, and it is represented by 6 cm on the drawing. Therefore, the scale of the drawing for this distance is 120 km = 6 cm.
Now, we need to find the distance between Jenkinsville and Lewis City on the drawing. The actual distance between Jenkinsville and Lewis City is 60 km.
Using the scale of the drawing we found earlier, we can calculate the distance on the drawing:
Distance on drawing = (Actual distance / Actual distance represented by 1 cm) * Distance represented by 1 cm on the drawing
Distance on drawing = (60 km / 120 km) * 6 cm
Distance on drawing = 0.5 * 6 cm
Distance on drawing = 3 cm
Therefore, the distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville on Arturo's drawing is 3 cm.
