To find the distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville on the scale drawing, we can use the ratio of the actual distances to the distances on the scale drawing.

The actual distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville is 60 km. The actual distance between Lewis City and Bellstown is 120 km, and on the scale drawing it is 6 cm.

So, the distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville on the scale drawing can be calculated as (60 km / 120 km) * 6 cm = 3 cm.

Therefore, the distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville on Arturo's drawing is 3 centimeters.
