A scale of 1 to 40 means that 1 unit on the drawing represents 40 units in reality. In other words, if an object measures 40 meters in real life, it would only measure 1 meter on the scale drawing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Calculate the dimensions of the scale drawing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mai&#8217;s kitchen has the following real-life dimensions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Length: 6 meters<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Width: 2 meters<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To convert these dimensions into the scale drawing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Scale for length<\/strong>:<br>Divide the actual length (6 meters) by 40: 640=0.15\u00a0meters\u00a0(or\u00a015\u00a0cm)\\frac{6}{40} = 0.15 \\text{ meters} \\text{ (or 15 cm)}<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Scale for width<\/strong>:<br>Divide the actual width (2 meters) by 40: 240=0.05\u00a0meters\u00a0(or\u00a05\u00a0cm)\\frac{2}{40} = 0.05 \\text{ meters} \\text{ (or 5 cm)}<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Draw the scale diagram<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, we can draw a rectangle with the dimensions of 15 cm (length) by 5 cm (width), based on the scale of 1:40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Label the dimensions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The <strong>length<\/strong> of the rectangle on the scale drawing is 15 cm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>width<\/strong> of the rectangle on the scale drawing is 5 cm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The kitchen&#8217;s scale drawing will be a smaller version of the real kitchen, showing the reduced dimensions on paper but maintaining the same proportions as the real-life kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explanation of the process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To create a scale drawing, we use the scale factor to reduce the dimensions proportionally. This means that every 1 cm on the paper represents 40 cm (or 0.4 meters) in the real world. For Mai&#8217;s kitchen, the 6-meter length becomes 15 cm, and the 2-meter width becomes 5 cm on the drawing. This allows her to visualize her kitchen on a smaller scale while maintaining accurate proportions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mai wants to make a scale drawing of her kitchen.
