Question

The drawing of the tabletop is 8 centimeters long. If the scale of the drawing is 2 centimeters = 0.75 meters. How many meters long is the coffee table that Ernest designed?

Answer 1

The first thing we should find in that case is the number of times the scale of 0.75 meters is repeated. For this, we make the following division:
n = (8) / (2) = 4
n = 4
The number of divisions of the scale is 4.
Then, we multiply the number of divisions by the measure of each division to find the length of the table:
L = 0.75 * n
L = 0.75 * (4)
L = 3
answer
the coffee table that Ernest designed is 3 meters long
