Answer 1

The scale on the drawing is 6 centimeters corresponds to the distance between Lewis City and Bellstown.

Let's say that the actual distance between Lewis City and Bellstown is x kilometers.

So, if the scale of 6 centimeters on the drawing represents x kilometers in reality, then 1 centimeter on the drawing would represent x/6 kilometers in reality.

Therefore, the distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville on Arturo's drawing would be:

6 centimeters * 2 = 12 centimeters

So, the answer is 12.
