Answer:

500cm or 5 meters

Explanation:

The ratio of drawing and field is 1:90.

So we have to make 450 m into cm.

450 -> is 45,000

Now we can make 2 fractions,


(1)/(90)=(x)/(45000)

Cross multiply

90*x = 90x

1*45000 = 45000

90x = 45000

Divide 90 to both sides

x = 500cm

Thus,

the drawing's field is 500cm or 5m long.

Hope this helps :)
