The actual distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville is 60 km. If the distance between Lewis City and Bellstown on the scale drawing is 6 cm, we can set up a proportion:
120 km = 6 cm
60 km = x cm
x = (60/120) * 6
x = 3
Therefore, the distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville on Arturo's drawing is 3 centimeters.
