Question

The scale for a scale drawing is 8 millimeters: 1 centimeter. Which is larger,the actual object or the scale drawing?explain

Answer 1

The scale is a representation of what the drawing is to real life. The drawing will tend to be represented by a fixed figure such as 1 cm. In this case for every cm of drawing it is a representation of 8 millimetres in real life, therefore the drawing is bigger than the object.
