In a scale drawing of the solar system, the scale is 1 mm = 500 km. For a planet with a diameter of 7000 kilometers, what should be the diameter of the drawing of the planet?

If 1mm = 500km then:

7000km/500km will give you your diameter of the drawing.

This means the planet drawing will have a diameter of 14mm
