Question

1. a map uses a scale of 1 cm = 10 km. what real distance does 7 cm represent? 6. a rectangular garden is 30 ft long and 18 ft wide. the scale drawing uses 1 inch = 6 ft. a. find the length of the garden on the drawing. b. find the width of the garden on the drawing.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate real distance for Q5

$7 \text{ cm} \times 10 \frac{\text{km}}{\text{cm}} = 70 \text{ km}$

Step2: Convert garden length to drawing (Q6a)

$\frac{30 \text{ ft}}{6 \frac{\text{ft}}{\text{inch}}} = 5 \text{ inches}$

Step3: Convert garden width to drawing (Q6b)

$\frac{18 \text{ ft}}{6 \frac{\text{ft}}{\text{inch}}} = 3 \text{ inches}$

Answer:

1. 70 km

6a. 5 inches
6b. 3 inches
