Answer 1

To find the distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville on Arturo's drawing, we can set up a proportion using the distances provided in the table:

Actual distance between Bellstown and Lewis City: 120 km
Actual distance between Bellstown and Jenkinsville: 40 km
Actual distance between Jenkinsville and Lewis City: 60 km

If the distance between Bellstown and Lewis City is 6 centimeters on the drawing, then the scale factor is 120 km / 6 cm = 20 km/cm.

Using this scale factor, we can find the distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville on the drawing:
Distance between Jenkinsville and Lewis City = 60 km / 20 km/cm = 3 cm

Therefore, the distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville on Arturo's drawing is 3 centimeters.
