Question: If 2cm represents 75 miles on a scale drawing. How long would a line segment be that represents 50 miles?

Answer 1

1.33cm

Explanation:

if 2cm is representing 75 miles, that means that .66 (repeating) is representative of 25 miles. This is because .66 (repeating) times 3 is equal to 2, and 25 times 3 is equal to 75. The reason 1.33cm would be equal to 50 miles is because if 25 miles is equal to .66, and 50/25 = 2, then you would have 2x.66 (repeating), to get 1.33.
