Answer:
1 millimeter = 2 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Scales are used in drawings to represent large buildings and places.
Given
Original width of basketball court = w = 8 meters
Width in drawing = s = 4 millimeters
In order to find the scale we have to divide the original width by the width in drawing.
[tex]Scale = \frac{Original\ width}{Width\ in\ drawing}\\Scale = \frac{8}{4}\\Scale = 2\ meter\ per\ millimeter[/tex]
This means that 1 millimeter represents 2 meters of the original court
1 millimeter = 2 meters
