Answer:

I actual foot represents 0.01093 foot on paper

Explanation:

Given that :

Actual side length of snack stand = 60 feets

Length of side on map = 20cm

Scaie :

60 feet = 20cm

1 foot = (20/60) cm

1 foot = 0.333 cm

1cm = 0.0328084 foot

0.333cm = (0.33 * 0.0328084) = 0.01093 feets

Scale :

I actual foot represents 0.01093 foot on paper
