Town | Town | Actual Distance Between Towns |

Bellstown Lewis City 120 km
Bellstown Jenkinsville 40 km
Jenkinsville Lewis City 60 km

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?

3 answers

First, we need to identify the scale factor by dividing the actual distance between Lewis City and Bellstown (120 km) by the distance on the scale drawing (6 cm):

Scale factor = 120 km / 6 cm = 20

Next, we use this scale factor to find the distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville on Arturo's drawing:

Distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville on drawing = 60 km / 20 = 3 cm

Therefore, Lewis City and Jenkinsville are 3 centimeters apart on Arturo's scale drawing.

I apologize for the mistake. Let's reassess the situation.

Given:
- Distance between Bellstown and Lewis City: 120 km
- Distance between Bellstown and Jenkinsville: 40 km
- Distance between Jenkinsville and Lewis City: 60 km
- Distance between Bellstown and Lewis City on the scale drawing: 6 cm

First, we need to find the scale factor:
Scale factor = 120 km / 6 cm = 20 km/cm

Now, we can find the distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville on Arturo's drawing:
Distance between Jenkinsville and Lewis City on the scale drawing = 60 km / 20 km/cm = 3 cm

Therefore, Lewis City and Jenkinsville are 3 centimeters apart on Arturo's scale drawing.
