Since the scale is the same for both distances, we can set up a proportion to find the distance between Lewis City and Jenkensville on the scale drawing:
120 km = 6 cm
60 km = x cm
Cross multiplying:
120*x = 6*60
120x = 360
x = 3
Therefore, Lewis City and Jenkensville are 3 cm apart on his scale drawing.
Actual distance between Belles town and Lewis City is 120 kilometers. The distance of two cities is 6 cm on his scale drawing. Lewis City and Jenkensville are 60 kilometers apart in actual distance. How far apart are Lewis City and Jenkensville on his scale drawing?
