To find the scale of the map, we need to compare the actual length of one side of the snack stand with its representation on the map.
- The actual length of one side of the snack stand is 60 feet.
- The length of the same side on the scale map is 20 cm.
Now we can find the scale using the following formula:
\[ \text{Scale} = \frac{\text{Actual Length}}{\text{Map Length}} = \frac{60 \text{ feet}}{20 \text{ cm}} \]
To express the scale in terms of feet per centimeter, we can simplify this:
\[ \text{Scale} = \frac{60 \text{ feet}}{20 \text{ cm}} = 3 \text{ feet per cm} \]
Therefore, the scale is:
\[ \text{The scale is } 1 \text{ cm} = 3 \text{ feet.} \]
