Answer:
3.6 meters are represented by 18 centimeters on the blueprint.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
A scale on a blueprint drawing of a house shows that 10 centimeters represents 2 meters.
Now, to find the actual meters represented by 18 centimeters.
Let the actual meters represented by 18 centimeters be [tex]x.[/tex]
As, given the scale on a blueprint drawing of a house shows that 10 centimeters represents 2 meters.
So, 10 centimeters equivalent to 2 meters.
Thus, 18 centimeters equivalent to [tex]x.[/tex]
Now, to solve by using cross multiplication method:
[tex]\frac{10}{2}=\frac{18}{x}[/tex]
By cross multiplying we get:
[tex]10x=36[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 10 we get:
[tex]x=3.6\ meters.[/tex]
Therefore, 3.6 meters are represented by 18 centimeters on the blueprint.
