Question

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.

Reuben is making a replica of the US flag for his school project.
He uses a scale of 0.5 centimeter to 1 inch to draw the flag. The length of the scale drawing is 2.5 centimeters, and its width is 4.75 centimeters.

The perimeter of the scale drawing is
centimeters.

The perimeter of the actual flag is
inches.

Answer 1

Answer is 14.5 cm , 9 in

Answer 2

14.5 cm, 29 in.

Explanation

The perimeter(P) is 2L+ 2W, so P = 2 * 4.75 + 2 * 2.5 = 14.5.

Double 14.5, because every 0.5 cm is 1 inch. 14.5 * 2 = 29.
