Question

On the blueprint of a house, 36 millimeters represents 8 meters. The actual length of the living room is 6 meters. What is its length on the blueprint?

Answer 1

We can set up a proportion to solve for the length of the living room on the blueprint:

36 mm / 8 m = x mm / 6 m

where x is the length of the living room on the blueprint.

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and simplify:

36 mm * 6 m = 8 m * x mm

216 = 8x

x = 27

Therefore, the length of the living room on the blueprint is 27 millimeters.

Answer 2

You can use proportions to solve this problem:

36mm/8m = ?mm/6m

36/8 = x/6

36*6 = 8x

216 = 8x

27 = x

Thus, 6m on the blueprint would be 27mm. Hope this helped!
