Answer 1

Raymond measured the elementary school and made a scale drawing. The scale he used was 2 millimeters = 1 meter. The school yard is 45 meters wide in real life. How wide is the school yard in the drawing?

 

SOLUTION: 2 mm corresponds to 1 m; that's the FACT(not an Alternative Fact).

Multiply the above fact by 45; you get 90 mm corresponds to 45 m.  That's an Answer.

 

Note: 2 millimeters = 1 meter is NOT a true equation; that's why I used the words CORRESPONDS TO rather than =
