What is the scale of a drawing where a 6 meters wall is 4 centimeters long?(1 point)
Responses
1 cm = 1.5 m
1 cm = 1.5 m
1 cm = 3 m
1 cm = 3 m
1 cm = 0.66 m
1 cm = 0.66 m
1 cm = 4 m
1 cm = 1.5 m
can you explain how you got that answer?
To calculate the scale of the drawing, you need to determine the relationship between the length of the actual wall (6 meters) and the length of the wall in the drawing (4 centimeters).
Given:
Actual wall length = 6 meters
Length of wall in drawing = 4 centimeters
Scale = Length of wall in drawing / Actual wall length
Scale = 4 cm / 6 m
Scale = 0.67 cm/m or 1 cm = 1.5 m
Therefore, the scale of the drawing is 1 cm = 1.5 m.
