Ablueprint shows that a house’s length is 100cm and the width is 80cm. if the actual house length is 40 meters, what is the actual width?

32 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is on scale

Length of house on paper=100cm

Length of house actual=40m

finding the scale used;

make both lengths with similar units;

100cm rep 40m

100cm = 40×100 cm

100cm=4000cm

1:40⇒1cm rep 40 cm

Finding actual measurement of the width

1cm rep 40cm

80cm rep ?

cross multiply; (80×40)÷1= 3200cm

actual width=3200/100= 32 meters

Actual width of house = 32 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that blueprint shows that a house’s length is 100cm and the width is 80 cm.

We will use the ratio method to find the actual width of the house if the actual length is 40 meters.

So actual width of the house = = 32 meters

step-by-step explanation:
