Question

Ethan drew a scale drawing of a house. He used the scale 1 millimeter : 5 meters. The actual

length of the garage is 10 meters. How long is the garage in the drawing?

millimeters

Answer 1

2 millimeters

Explanation:

Ethan used the scale 1 millimeter : 5 meters.

This means that 1 millimeter in the drawing represents 5 meters in actual life.

The actual length of the garage is 10 meters. Therefore:

5 meters = 1 millimeter

=> 10 meters = (10 * 1) / 5 = 2 millimeters

The garage is 2 millimeters long in the drawing.
