Question

April measured her bed and made a scale drawing. The scale of the drawing was 1

centimeter = 6 inches. In the drawing, the bed is 10 centimeters long. What is the
length of the actual bed?

Answer 1

60 inches

Explanation:

Given data

We have the scale of the drawing as

1cm= 6 inches

Now if 1 cm is equivalent to 6inches

then 10cm will be x inches

Cross multiply we have

x*1= 10*6

x= 60 inches

Hence the length of the actual bed is 60inches
