Answer 1

Given:

1.5 cm on the floor plan is equivalent to 3m on the actual dimension.

To find:

Scale of this floor plan = ?

Solution:

First of all, let us understand about scale concept.

Scaling is used to represent actual big structures in smaller dimensions so that a model can be constructed to present to others.

The smaller model acts as a blueprint for the whole big structure.

Here we are given that 1.5 cm on the floor plan is equivalent to 3m on actual dimension.

Let us convert 3m to cm.

We know 1 m = 1000 cm

3m = 3000 cm

Now, let us take ratio to find scale:

1.5 cm : 3000 cm

Divide both sides with 1.5 cm:

1:2000  is the scale used in the floor plan.

Answer 2

Answer:

1:2000
