Since the distance between Lewis City and Bellstown on the scale drawing is 6 centimeters and the actual distance is 120 km, we can set up a proportion to find the scale factor:
6 centimeters/120 km = x centimeters/60 km
Cross-multiplying:
120x = 360
x = 360/120
x = 3
Therefore, the distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville on Arturo's drawing is 3 centimeters.
