Question

Mark made a scale drawing of a soccer field, using a scale of .5 cm=1m. The actual length of the field is 110 m. What is the length of the field on the drawing?

Answer 1

The length of the field on the drawing is 55 cm.

Explanation:

Given:

Mark made a scale drawing of a soccer field.

Using a scale of .5 cm=1 m.

The actual length of the field is 110 m.

Now, to find the length of the field on drawing.

Let the length of the field on drawing be
`x.`

As given 0.5 cm is equivalent to 1 m.

Thus,
`x` is equivalent to 110 m.

Now, to get the length of the field on drawing by using cross multiplication method:

`(0.5)/(1) =(x)/(110)`

By cross multiplying we get:

⇒
`55=x`

⇒
`x=55`

Therefore, the length of the field on the drawing is 55 cm.
