Answer:
The scale of the drawing is 1 mm : 4 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Length on the drawing = 24 mm
Actual length of the school = 96 meters
To Find:
Scale of the drawing = ?
Solution:
The length of the school in the drawing , that is 24 mm i.e., equal to 96 meters in the building so
24 : 96---------------------------(1)
Then we have to find the ratio for 1 mm
let it be x, then
1 : x------------------(2)
On cross multiplying (1) and (2), we get
[tex]24 \times x = 96 \times 1[/tex]
[tex]24 x = 96[/tex]
[tex]x =\frac{96}{24}[/tex]
x=4
