To determine how far apart Lewis City and Jenkinsville are on Arturo's drawing, we first need to calculate the scale of the drawing based on the distance between Lewis City and Bellstown.
The actual distance between Lewis City (LC) and Bellstown (B) is 120 km, and on the drawing, the distance between them is 6 centimeters. Therefore, we can determine the scale as follows:
-
Calculate the scale factor: \[ \text{Scale} = \frac{\text{Distance on drawing}}{\text{Actual distance}} = \frac{6 \text{ cm}}{120 \text{ km}} = \frac{1 \text{ cm}}{20 \text{ km}} \]
-
Determine the actual distance between Jenkinsville (J) and Lewis City (LC): The actual distance between Jenkinsville and Lewis City is 60 km.
-
Convert the actual distance to the drawing scale using the scale factor: Using the scale factor from step 1: \[ \text{Distance on drawing between J and LC} = \frac{60 \text{ km}}{20 \text{ km/cm}} = 3 \text{ cm} \]
So the distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville on Arturo's drawing is 3 centimeters.
The correct response is: 3 centimeters.
