To find the distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville on Arturo's drawing, we can set up a proportion using the actual distances and the distances on the drawing.
Actual distance between Lewis City and Bellstown: 60 km
Distance between Lewis City and Bellstown on Arturo's drawing: 6 cm
Actual distance between Bellstown and Jenkinsville: 40 km
Distance between Bellstown and Jenkinsville on Arturo's drawing: x cm
Using the proportion:
60 km / 6 cm = 40 km / x cm
Cross-multiplying:
60 * x = 6 * 40
60x = 240
x = 4
Therefore, the distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville on Arturo's drawing is 4 centimeters.
