Luna measured the elementary school and made a scale drawing the schoolyard which is 175 m long in real life is 25 cm long in the drawing. What scale did Luna use for the drawing?

Answer 1

To find the scale Luna used for the drawing, we need to divide the length of the real schoolyard by the length of the drawing.

Scale = Length of real schoolyard / Length of drawing
Scale = 175 m / 25 cm

Since 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters, we can convert 175 meters to centimeters by multiplying it by 100.
175 m = 175 * 100 cm = 17,500 cm

Now, we can divide the length of the real schoolyard in centimeters by the length of the drawing in centimeters to find the scale.
Scale = 17,500 cm / 25 cm

Simplifying the expression, we get:
Scale = 700

Therefore, Luna used a scale of 1:700 for the drawing of the schoolyard.
