Question

How to draw a construct a scale of 1:4 to show centimeters and long enough to measure 5 dm. mark on it a distance of 3.7 m?

Answer 1

R.F. = ¼*.Length of the scale = R.F. × max. length = ¼ × 5 dm = 12.5 cm.*.Draw a line 12.5 cm long and divide it in to 5 equal divisions, each representing 1 dm.*.Mark 0 at the end of the first division and 1, 2, 3 and 4 at the end of each subsequent divisionto its right.*.Divide the first division into 10 equal sub-divisions, each representing 1 cm.*.Mark cm to the left of 0 as shown.*.Draw the scale as a rectangle ofsmall width (about 3 mm) instead of only a line.*.Draw the division lines showing decimeters throughout the width of the scale.*.Draw thick and dark horizontal lines in the middle of all alternate divisions and sub-divisions.*.Below the scale, print DECIMETERS on the right hand side, CENTIMERTERS on the lefthand side, and R.F. in the middle.

Answer 2

I think It is R.F. = ¼*.Length of the scale = R.F. × max. length = ¼ × 5 DM = 12.5 cm.*.Draw a line 12.5 cm long and divide it in to 5 equal divisions, each representing 1 DM.*.Mark 0 at the end of the first division and 1, 2, 3 and 4 at the end of each subsequent divisionto its right.*.Divide the first division into 10 equal sub-divisions, each representing 1 cm.*.Mark cm to the left of 0 as shown.*.Draw the scale as a rectangle of small width (about 3 mm) instead of only a line.*.Draw the division lines showing decimeters throughout the width of the scale.*.Draw thick and dark horizontal lines in the middle of all alternate divisions and sub-divisions.*.Below the scale, print DECIMETERS on the right hand side, CENTIMETERS on the left hand side, and R.F. in the middle. here you go hope it helps
