PLEASE HELP QUICK!

- The scale for a drawing of a sports field is 5cm:20m. What will the actual length of the field be if you measure 10cm on the drawing?

1. 10m
2. 20m
3. 30m
4. 40m

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

since the ratio of map to actual length of the sports field is 5cm to 20m,

map:actual

5cm:20m

10cm:40m

hence, the actual length of the field is 40m (option 4).
