Arturo creates a scale drawing showing these distances; 120 km, 40 km, and 60 km. If the distance between Lewis city and bellstown is 6 centimeters on his drawing, how far apart are Lewis city and jenkinsville on Arturos drawing
To find the distance between Lewis city and Jenkinsville on Arturo's drawing, we first need to determine the scale of the drawing.
The actual distances are:
- Lewis city to Bellstown: 120 km
- Bellstown to Jenkinsville: 40 km
- Total distance from Lewis city to Jenkinsville: 120 km + 40 km = 160 km
On Arturo's drawing, the distance between Lewis city and Bellstown is 6 centimeters. Therefore, the scale is:
120 km = 6 cm
1 km = 6 cm / 120 km
1 km = 0.05 cm
Now, we can find the distance between Lewis city and Jenkinsville on Arturo's drawing:
160 km * 0.05 cm = 8 cm
So, the distance between Lewis city and Jenkinsville on Arturo's drawing is 8 centimeters.
