Answer:
Her door should be 3cm on scale
The actual dimension of the kitchen table is
[tex]Length = 1.6m[/tex]
[tex]Width = 1m[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Scale= 1 : 40[/tex]
[tex]Kitchen\ Dimension= 6m\ by\ 2m[/tex]
[tex]Door\ Width = 1.2m[/tex]
Solving (a): The width of the door on the scale
Represent the scale width with x
So, we have:
[tex]1 : 40[/tex]
and
[tex]x : 1.2[/tex]
Equate both ratios
[tex]1 : 40 = x : 1.2[/tex]
Represent as fraction
[tex]\frac{1}{40} = \frac{x}{1.2}[/tex]
Solve for x
[tex]x = \frac{1.2}{40}[/tex]
[tex]x = 0.03m[/tex]
[tex]x = 3cm[/tex]
Hence, her door should be 3cm on scale
Solving (b): Actual Dimension of the kitchen table
To solve this, we simply multiply the scale dimensions by 40
[tex]Length = 4cm * 40[/tex]
[tex]Length = 160cm[/tex]
[tex]Length = 1.6m[/tex]
[tex]Width = 2.5cm * 40[/tex]
[tex]Width = 100cm[/tex]
[tex]Width = 1m[/tex]
Hence:
The actual dimension is
[tex]Length = 1.6m[/tex]
[tex]Width = 1m[/tex]
