Question

While on beach vacation, tasha makes scale drawing of points of intererest between priers on her drawing 2 cm represents 15 MI the priers are 12 cm apart on tashas drawing. What is the actual distnace between 2 priers

Answer 1

Actual distance between the 2 priers = 90 MI

Explanation:

Ratio of Scaled drawing to actual dimension = 2 : 15

2 cm represents 15MI

2cm ≡ 15 MI

∴ 1 cm ≡ (15/2) MI

1 cm ≡ 7.5 MI

scaled distance of priers in drawing = 12cm

∴ 12 cm ≡ 7.5 × 12

= 90 MI

∴ Actual distance between the 2 priers = 90 MI
