Question

2. Priscilla is drawing a map of her school that uses a scale in which 1.5 cm 1 point
on the map represents 3 ft. If the first hallway has a length of 120 ft, what
should the length of the hallway be on the map?
O
a. 40 cm
b. 60 cm
C. 30 cm
d. 45 cm

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 60cm. (b)

Step-by-step explanation:

For every 1.5cm on the map, it represents 3 ft on real-size scale.

In other words, for every 1cm on the map, it represents 3/1.5 = 2ft on real size scale.

If you want to find 120ft of real-size scale, you can use 120ft/2ft * 1cm which gives 60cm
