Question

Quincy measured a house and made a scale drawing. The living room, which is 4 meters long in real life, is 2 millimeters long in the drawing. What is the scale of the drawing

Answer 1

scale is 4m:2mm

but convert so they're both m or both mm

m = 1,000 mm

1 meter = 1 thousand millimeters

4,000mm:2mm

2000:1

scale drawing is 0.05% of the actual size

1/2000 = 1/2 of 1/1000 = 1/2 of .001 = .0005 = 0.05%
