Question

A drawing of a fish has a scale of 2 cm:1 m. The drawing of the fish is 3 cm long. How long is the fish?

Answer 1

if the sale is 2cm = 1m then 1cm = 1/2 m

3cm = 3/2 m or

fish = 1.5m

Answer 2

1.5 meters

Answer 3

1.5m

Answer 4

Firstly, you need to make it 1cm : x meters.

2/2 : 1/2

= 1 cm : 1/2 m

2 cm : 1 m

3 cm: 1.5m

Therefore, the fish is 1.5 meters long.  

Answer 5

OK

2 cm is to 1m as 3 cm is to x m

.02m / 1m = .03m/ x

.03m = .02m x

.03/.02 = x

1.5m = x

The fish is 1.5 meters long.

Hope that helps.
