Answer:

Length: 10 m

Width: 6 m

Explanation:

The layout of the floor is l x w, which is 100 cm by 60 cm. Now, the confusing part: 1 meter (m) = 10 centimeters (cm)

To set this problem up, you'd first have to go through the logic. For every 10 centimeters of the floor layout, it is equal to 1 meter of the actualy floor plan. So you would have to scale 100 cm and 60 cm by
(1)/(10) (or divide by 10).

We will ignore the units, for now

Length: 100 *
(1)/(10) = 10 or (100/10 = 10)

Width: 60 *
(1)/(10) = 6 or (60/10 = 6)

Now that we've finalized the numerical value, lets move on to the units. Since the question wants us to respond in meters, the length of 10 and the width 6 6 would be in meters.

So the answer would be:

Length: 10 m

Width: 6 m

Hope this helped!
