To find the distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville on Arturo's drawing, we need to use the scale of the drawing.
Actual distance between Lewis City and Bellstown: 120 km
Actual distance between Bellstown and Jenkinsville: 40 km
Scale of the drawing: 6 cm represents 120 km
To find the distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville on the drawing:
40 km * (6 cm / 120 km) = 2 cm
Therefore, Lewis City and Jenkinsville are 2 centimeters apart on Arturo's drawing.
Use the table to answer the question.
