Elena wants to make a scale drawing of her bedroom. Her bedroom is a rectangle with length 500 cm and width 300 cm. She decides on a scale of 1 to 50.

b. Elena's bedroom door is 80 cm wide. How wide should the door be on the scale drawing? Explain your reasoning.

(*Hint #1* a good explanation uses Words, Numbers, or Pictures to justify your thinking).

Answer 1

1.6cm

2.The door should be 1.6cm wide on the drawing.

.Explanation:

1.First, note that 1 m =100 cm.

Then

5 m = 500 cm;

3 m = 300 cm.

If Elena wants to make a scale drawing of her bedroom on a scale of 1 to 50, then

500 cm : 50 = 10 cm;

300 cm : 50 = 6 cm.

Therefore, the length of the scale drawing is 10 cm and the width of the scale drawing is 6 cm.
