Question

If the whale drawing is 5 cm long, find the scale for the drawing.

Answer 1

Scale (and/or) Scale Factor = 91.44

Explanation:

First convert 15ft to cm

15ft = 457.2cm

Now divide the real whale size by the drawing

457.2 / 5 = 91.44

So the scale is 91.44

The whale is 91.44 times bigger than the drawing
