Luna measured the elernentary school and made a scale drawing, The schoolyard, which

Question

is 175 meters long in real life, is 25 centimeters long in the drawing. What scale did Luna use for the drawing?

Answer 1

To find the scale, we need to determine the ratio of the length in the drawing to the length in real life.

Let's set up a proportion using the given information:

(Length in drawing)/(Length in real life) = (Scale)

Let's plug in the values:

(25 cm)/(175 m) = Scale

We need to convert the meters to centimeters to have consistent units:

(25 cm)/(17500 cm) = Scale

Simplifying the fraction:

1/700 = Scale

Therefore, the scale Luna used for the drawing is 1:700.
