Answer 1

a scale drawing of a rectangular field is 10 centimeters by 8.5 centimeters if the actual field has dimensions of 40 meters by 34 meters which could be the scale used for the drawing

we have that

10 centimeters ------> 40 meters

8.5 centimeters ----> 34 meters

so

10 cm/40 m=1 cm/4 m ------> is equivalent to 0.5 cm/2 m

the answer is option D
