A room measures 3 m by 5 m. A scale drawing is to be made, using a scale of 1 cm=0.5.

Question

Find the dimensions of the scale drawing and provide sketch of this room drawn to scale.

Answer 1

1 cm = 0.5 meters?

You could use proportions.

1/0.5 = x / 3
0.5x = 3
x = 3/0.5
x = 6 cm

Do the same for the other measurement.
