Scale on the blue print drawingOf a house show 6 cm represents 3 m what number of centimeters on the blueprint represents actual distance of 27 m

Answer 1

54 cm on the blueprint represents actual distance of 27 m.

Explanation:

Scale on the blue print drawing of a house show 6 cm represents 3 m.

So, the proportion is
`(6)/(300) = (1)/(50)` {Since, 3 m = 300 cm.}

Hence, the original dimensions of the house is reduced in the ratio
`(1)/(50)` in the blue print drawing.

Then, 27 m i.e. 2700 cm will be represented in the drawing by
`2700 * (1)/(50) = 54` cm.

Therefore, 54 cm on the blueprint represents actual distance of 27 m. (Answer)
