B.110.5 cm
C.220 cm
D. 55 cm

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of the field on the drawing is 55 cm that is option D.

Step-by-step 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 the drawing.

Let the length of the field on drawing be $x\ cm.$

As given,

Drawing of a soccer field, using a scale of 0.5 cm=1 m.

So, 0.5 cm is equivalent to 1 m.

Thus, $x\ cm$ is equivalent to 110 m.

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

$\frac{0.5}{1} =\frac{x}{110}$

By cross multiplying we get:

$55=x$

$x=55\ cm$

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