You might need: Calculator A scale on a blue print drawing of a house shows that 6 centimeters represents 3 meters. What number of centimeters on the blue print represents an actual distance of 27 meters?

we have that

the scale drawing is

6 cm/ 3 m

simplify

2 cm/ 1 m ------> that means 2 cm in the drawing represent 1 m in the actual

applying proportion

2 cm/ 1 m=x/ 27 m

solve for x

x=27(2)

x=54 cm
