Arturo creates a scale drawing showing these distances; 120 km, 40 km, and 60 km. If the distance between Lewis city and bellstown is 6 centimeters on his drawing, how far apart are Lewis city and jenkinsville on Arturos drawing

Answer 1

To find the distance between Lewis city and Jenkinsville on Arturo's drawing, we first need to determine the scale of the drawing.

The actual distances are:
- Lewis city to Bellstown: 120 km
- Bellstown to Jenkinsville: 40 km
- Total distance from Lewis city to Jenkinsville: 120 km + 40 km = 160 km

On Arturo's drawing, the distance between Lewis city and Bellstown is 6 centimeters. Therefore, the scale is:
120 km = 6 cm
1 km = 6 cm / 120 km
1 km = 0.05 cm

Now, we can find the distance between Lewis city and Jenkinsville on Arturo's drawing:
160 km * 0.05 cm = 8 cm

So, the distance between Lewis city and Jenkinsville on Arturo's drawing is 8 centimeters.
