Question

The actual length of Wall C is 4 m. To represent Wall C, Noah draws a segment 16 cm long. What scale is he using?

Answer 1

`(1m)/(4cm)`

Explanation:

First write the problem out as a fraction.

`(4)/(16)`

Next see if there is a GCF

4:1,2,4

16:1,2,4,8,16

Finally divide the numerator and denomenator by the GCF

`(4)/(16) /4=(1)/(4)`
