Town| Town | Actual Distance Between Towns
Bellstown| Lewis City |120 km
Bellstown |Jenkinsville |40 km
Jenkinsville |Lewis City| 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
To find the distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville on Arturo's scale drawing, we can use the distances given and the scale of the drawing.
First, let's calculate the actual distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville:
Actual distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville = Actual distance between Lewis City and Bellstown - Actual distance between Jenkinsville and Bellstown
Actual distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville = 120 km - 40 km
Actual distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville = 80 km
Now, since the distance between Lewis City and Bellstown on the drawing is 6 centimeters and the actual distance is 120 km, we can find the scale of Arturo's drawing:
Scale = Actual distance / Drawing distance
Scale = 120 km / 6 cm
Scale = 20 km/cm
Finally, we can find the distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville on Arturo's drawing:
Distance on drawing = Actual distance / Scale
Distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville on drawing = 80 km / 20 km/cm
Distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville on drawing = 4 cm
Therefore, on Arturo's scale drawing, the distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville is 4 centimeters.
