Question

problem #4 - find the scale (mild) legend drew a scale drawing of a new restaurant that he was opening. the restaurants kitchen, which is 12 meters wide in real life, is 2 millimeters wide in the drawing. what is the scale of the drawing?

Explanation:

Step1: Convert real - life length to millimeters

Since 1 meter = 1000 millimeters, a 12 - meter wide kitchen in real life is $12\times1000 = 12000$ millimeters wide.

Step2: Calculate the scale

The scale is the ratio of the drawing length to the real - life length. The drawing width is 2 millimeters and the real - life width is 12000 millimeters. So the scale is $2:12000$, which simplifies to $1:6000$.

Answer:

$1:6000$
