Question

FIRST GETS BRAINLLEST If each 12 feet on the scale drawing below equals 3 cm, what is the actual length of the green line?

12cm
14cm
15cm
16.5 cm

Answer 1

12 cm

Explanation:

The ratio of feet to cm is 12:3. Set up a ratio to find the length of the green line in cm.

12 feet ÷ 3 cm = 48 ft ÷ x

Cross multiply and divide.

3 x 48 = 12 × x

144 = 12x

x = 12

The actual length of the green line is 12 cm.

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

12 cm

Explanation:

You would only have to focus on the green line and then you just have to divide it by 12 and you get 4 and than you multiply 3 cm by 4 and the answer for the actual length of the green line will be 12 cm.
