The scale of the drawing is 1 cm for every 1.25.
Given,
The school asks to determine the number on the scale of the drawing if the map length of the actual 20m boundary measures 16cm on the drawing.
<h3>What is the Ratio?</h3>
The ratio can be defined as the proportion of the fraction of one quantity towards others. e.g.- water in milk.
Here,
The scale of the drawing if the map length of the actual 20m boundary measures 16cm, implies.
ratio = 16 / 20 = 1 / 1.25
So for every 1.25 m actual boundary, there is 1 cm on the map.
Thus, the scale of the drawing is 1 cm for every 1.25.
