Give your answer in centimeters.​

Answer 1

Part (A)

(1 cm)/(20 cm) = (6 cm)/(x cm)

1/20 = 6/x

1*x = 20*6

x = 120

120 cm = 120/100 = 1.2 m

Answer: 1.2 m

=========================================================

Part (B)

2.2 m = 2.2*100 = 220 cm

(1 cm)/(20 cm) = (x cm)/(220 cm)

1/20 = x/220

1*220 = 20*x

20x = 220

x = 220/20

x = 11

Answer: 11 cm
