3 centimeters
To find the distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville on the scale drawing, use the ratio of the actual distance between the two towns (60 km) to the actual distance between Lewis City and Bellstown (120 km).
So, 60 km / 120 km = x (scale distance between Jenkinsville and Lewis City) / 6 cm
Solving for x, x = 3 cm.
Therefore, Lewis City and Jenkinsville are 3 centimeters apart on Arturo's drawing.
Use the table to answer the question.
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?
