Question

Lady Liberty holds a tablet in her left hand. The tablet is 7.19 m long and 4.14 m wide. If you made a scale drawing using the scale 1 cm:0.75 m, what would be the width of the
scaled tablet rounded to the nearest hundredth?

Answer 1

Answer: Option D; w = 5.52 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the width of the tablet is 4.14m

We want to do a scale drawing such that 1cm is equivalent to 0.75m.

Then, the first thing we need to do is count how many times we have 0.75m in the 4.14m

This is equal to:

N = 4.14m/0.75m = 5.52

And we know that each one of these is equivalent to one centimeter in the scaled tablet.

then we have that the width of the scaled tablet is:

W = 1cm*N = 1cm*(5.52) = 5.52 cm

The correct option is D.
