Question

Chase made a scale drawing of a neighborhood park. The scale of the drawing was 1 millimeter : 8 meters. The volleyball court is 16 meters long in real life. How long is the volleyball court in the drawing?

what millimeters

Answer 1

Length of the volleyball court in drawing = 2 mm

Explanation:

8 meter = 8 *1000 = 8000 mm

Scale factor = 1 : 8000

Length of the volleyball court in drawing = x

1 : 8000 :: x : 16000

`(1)/(8000)=(x)/(16000)\\\\\\(1)/(8000)*16000=x\\\\`

x = 2 mm
