1 cm = 0.125cm

Answer 2

The scale of the drawing is:

1 cm = 0.125 cm

Explanation:

It is given that:

In an illustration of a ladybug, the length of the ladybug is 5.6 centimeters. The actual length of the ladybug is 0.7 centimeter.

The scale of a drawing is the value by which the actual size of a object is reduced or enlarged.

The scale of the drawing is: 1 cm = 0.125 cm

( i.e. if the model has a length of 1 cm then the actual length is: 0.125 cm.

Hence, if the length of model is : 5.6 cm then the actual length is: 5.6×0.125=0.7 cm )
