Question

A scale on a blue print drawing of a house shows that 666 centimeters represents 333 meters.

What number of centimeters on the blue print represents an actual distance of 272727 meters?

Answer 1

545454cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The blue print drawing of the house shows 666 centimeters, but the real picture of the house is 333 meters. So let the number of cm on the blueprint that represent the distance of 272727 meters be x. Firstly convert the meters to centimeters 666cm = 333m, x=272727m ; then cross multiply, 666cm=33300cm x=27272700cm ; x =(666cm×272727cm)/33300cm =545454cm.
