Arturo creates a scale drawing showing these distances. If the distance between Lewis City and Bellstown is 6 centimeters on his drawing, how far apart are Lewis City and Jenkinsville on Arturo’s drawing?(1 point)

Answer 1

The exact distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville on Arturo's drawing would require knowing the real-life distances between the cities and the scale used in the drawing.

However, if the question is asking for a direct relationship and assuming that we know the distances between the cities involved and the same scale is used for each, we'll need this information:

1. The real-life distance between Lewis City and Bellstown.
2. The real-life distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville.

We can consider this a hypothetical problem-solving approach if we have the scale of the drawing. Here's the general method:

1. Determine the scale of the drawing by using the distance between Lewis City and Bellstown: \( \text{Scale} = \frac{\text{Distance on drawing}}{\text{Real-life distance}} \).

2. Apply the same scale to find the distance on the drawing between Lewis City and Jenkinsville.

Here is an example to illustrate this:

Assume:
- The real-life distance between Lewis City and Bellstown is 60 kilometers.
- The distance between Lewis City and Bellstown on the drawing is 6 centimeters.
- The real-life distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville is 90 kilometers.

Step 1: Calculate the scale:
\[ \text{Scale} = \frac{6 \text{ cm}}{60 \text{ km}} = \frac{1 \text{ cm}}{10 \text{ km}} \]

Step 2: Calculate the distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville on the drawing:
\[ \text{Distance on drawing} = \text{Real-life distance} \times \text{Scale} \]
\[ \text{Distance on drawing} = 90 \text{ km} \times \frac{1 \text{ cm}}{10 \text{ km}} = 9 \text{ cm} \]

Thus, the distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville on Arturo’s drawing would be 9 centimeters if we're using the given hypothetical values and assuming the same scale is used.

Without the real-life distances, the exact drawing measurement cannot be provided explicitly from the information given.
