On a diagram with a scale of 1 cm = 6m, the width of an object is 8cm. This diagram is redrawn with a scale of 1 cm = 4m. What is the new width of the object in the drawing?
First, we need to calculate the actual width of the object using the first scale.
1 cm = 6m
8 cm = 8 x 6m = 48m
Now, we need to determine the new width of the object using the second scale.
1 cm = 4m
48m = 48 / 4 = 12 cm
Therefore, the new width of the object in the drawing with the scale of 1 cm = 4m is 12 cm.
