Question

The actual length of Wall C is 4 m. To represent Wall C, Noah draws a segment 16 cm long. What scale is he using?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1m}{4cm}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First write the problem out as a fraction.

$\frac{4}{16}$

Next see if there is a GCF

4:1,2,4

16:1,2,4,8,16

Finally divide the numerator and denomenator by the GCF

$\frac{4}{16} /4=\frac{1}{4}$
