Question

scott made a scale drawing of a map that has a scale of 1 centimeter = 4 inches. label the dimensions of the scale drawing.

Explanation:

Step1: Find horizontal dimension in cm

Since 1 cm = 4 inches, for 40 - inch horizontal length, we divide by 4. Let the horizontal length in cm be $x$. Then $x=\frac{40}{4}$.
$x = 10$ cm

Step2: Find vertical dimension in cm

For 24 - inch vertical length, let the vertical length in cm be $y$. Using the scale 1 cm = 4 inches, we divide by 4. So $y=\frac{24}{4}$.
$y = 6$ cm

Answer:

The horizontal dimension of the scale - drawing is 10 cm and the vertical dimension is 6 cm.
