Answer:

4mm

Explanation:

Joseph made a scale drawing of an Italian restaurant. The scale he used was 1 millimeter : 6 meters.

From the above question, our scale factor is given as:

1 millimeter : 6 meters.

1 mm = 6 m

Which also means

6m = 1 mm

The restaurant's kitchen is 24 meters long in real life. How long is the kitchen in the drawing?

Hence, we can calculate this as

6m = 1 mm

24 m = x mm

Cross Multiply

6 m × x mm = 24m × 1 mm

x mm = 24m × 1 mm/6m

x mm = 4 mm

Therefore, the length of the kitchen in the drawing is 4mm
