Question

a scale drawing of a car is presented in the following three scales. drag to order the scales from smallest to largest, based on the size of the finished scale drawing. 1 in. to 1 m 1 in. to 1 ft 1 in. to 1 yd

Explanation:

Step1: Convert units to a common one

We know that 1 yd = 3 ft and 1 m≈3.28 ft. So 1 in. to 1 yd means 1 in. represents 3 ft, 1 in. to 1 ft means 1 in. represents 1 ft and 1 in. to 1 m means 1 in. represents about 3.28 ft.

Step2: Compare the scales

The larger the real - life length represented by 1 inch in the scale drawing, the smaller the scale drawing will be. Since 1 ft < 3 ft < 3.28 ft, the order from smallest to largest size of the finished scale drawing (which means from largest scale to smallest scale) is: 1 in. to 1 ft, 1 in. to 1 yd, 1 in. to 1 m.

Answer:

1 in. to 1 ft, 1 in. to 1 yd, 1 in. to 1 m
