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

Answer:

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

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 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:

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

By cross multiplying we get:

⇒ $55=x$

⇒ $x=55$

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