Answer 2

33 meters does a length of 5.5 centimeters on the drawing represent.

Explanation:

Given : The scale on a drawing is 1 cm = 6 m.

To find : How many meters does a length of 5.5 centimeters on the drawing represent?

Solution :

We know, 1 cm = 6 m.

We have to convert 5.5 centimeter into meters,

In
`1 \text{ cm }=6 \text{ m }`

So,
`5.5 \text{ cm }= 5.5*6\text{ m }`

`5.5 \text{ cm }=33\text{ m }`

Therefore, 33 meters does a length of 5.5 centimeters on the drawing represent.
