Question

reggie drew a scale drawing of a swimming pool. the scale of the drawing was 4 millimeters : 3 meters. the pool is 24 meters long in real life. how long is the pool in the drawing?

Answer 1

The pool that Reggie drew will be 24 millimeters long, compare to real life which is 24 meters long.

As we can't create a real-life dimension in a small sheet of paper, we opted for a small scale that covers up the large length. As we are given, the scale of the drawing is 4 millimeters: 3 meters, which means 1 millimeter is equal to 3/4 meters, and the size of the pool in real life is 24 meters.

So, the length of the pool in the drawing is = 24*(3/4)

                                                                           = 24 millimeters
