Answer 2

54 centimeters on the blue print represents an actual distance of 27 meters.

Explanation:

Given : A scale on a blue print drawing of a house shows that 6 centimeter= 3 meter.

We have to determine the number of centimeters on the blue print represents an actual distance of 27 meters.

Since given the scale on blue print from drawing a house as,

for actual distance of 3 meter the print shows it by 6 centimeters.

UNITARY METHOD is a method in which we first find the value of a single unit and then multiply it by desired unit.

To represent 1 meter the print show it by
`(6)/(3)=2` centimeters.

Now,

To represent 27 meters the print show it by 2 × 27 = 54 centimeters.

Thus, 54 centimeters on the blue print represents an actual distance of 27 meters.
