Question

in a drawing of the solar system the scale is 1 mm = 500 km for a planet with a diameter of 5000 kilometers what should be the diameter of the drawing of the planet

Answer 1

You would divide to get an answer of by 500/5000

Answer 2

Answer: The diameter of the drawing of the planet= 10 mm

Explanation:

Given: In a drawing of the solar system the scale is 1 mm = 500 km

which means
`1\ km=(1)/(500)mm` on the drawing.

The diameter of planet =5000 kilometers .

Then the diameter of the drawing of the planet=
`(5000)/(500)=10\ mm`

Therefore, the diameter of the drawing of the planet= 10 mm.
