Anyone know the answer ?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The actual dimensions of the floor are 12,5m by 1,8m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale problems are solved by proportions, using a rule of three.

Scale of 1:50

This means that each cm on the cupboard has a real dimension of 50 cm

25 cm on the cupboard:

So the real dimension is:

25*50 = 1250 cm = 12,5m

3.6 cm

The real dimension is:

3.6*50 = 160 cm = 1,8 m

The actual dimensions of the floor are 12,5m by 1,8m.
