Answer 1

SOLUTION

GIVEN

Jai’s garage is 3 m wide and 8 m long.

TO DETERMINE

The dimensions of this garage on a plan with a scale of 1 : 200

Length _______ cm

Width ________ cm

EVALUATION

Here it is given that Jai’s garage is 3 m wide and 8 m long.

Now 3 m = 3 × 100 cm = 300 cm

8 m = 8 × 100 cm = 800 cm

Now it is given that the dimensions of this garage on a plan with a scale of 1 : 200

We know that if the scale is 1 : 200, the real life measurements will be 200 times larger.

In real life Jai’s garage is 300 cm wide and 800 cm long.

Hence on a plan with a scale of 1 : 200

Length = 800 ÷ 200 cm = 4 cm

Width = 300 ÷ 200 = 1.5 cm

FINAL ANSWER

On a plan with a scale of 1 : 200

Length = 4 cm

Width = 1.5 cm
