Kinsley measured a city park

Scale of drawing : 13 milimeter and 5 meter

Actual width is 65 meter

Let the field in Milimeter is x

So,


\begin{gathered} 13\text{ milimeters and 5 meters=x milimeters and 65 meters} \\ (13)/(5)=(x)/(65) \\ \text{Apply cross multiplication} \\ x=(13*65)/(5) \\ x=(13*13)/(1) \\ x=169 \\ Park\text{in milimeters = 169} \\ So, \\ 13\text{ milimeters and 5 meters=169 milimeters and 65 meters} \end{gathered}

Answer: 13 milimeters and 5 meters = 169 milimeters and 65 meters
