the restaurant's kitchen is 8 meters wide. It is 2 millimeters wide in the drawing. What is the scale of the drawing? 1 millimeter : ______meters

Answer 1

4

the ratios are the same

8m/2mm = 4m/1mm

1 mm = 4 meters

You could have set it up as an equation with x = the number of meters represented by 1 mm, as

x/1 = 8/2, solve for x

2x = 8

x = 8/2 = 4
