Find the height of a door on a scale drawing if the door is 2 meters tall and the scale is 1 centimeter = 4 meters

1/2 centimeter

Step-by-step explanation:

2 meters is half of 4 meters. 4 meters is one centimeter. Therefore, you divide 1 by 2 and get 1/2.

1 cm in the drawing = 4 meters real measure
Since you want the drawing measure for a real 2 m, and 2 m is half of 4 m, then the drawing measure is 0.5 cm

If 1 cm = 4 m, then
0.5 cm = 2 m

0.5 cm

Simple! In order to find the answer you'd take your current ratio (1:4) and you'd find the equivalent of that when your ratio is (x:2). So you'd set up a fraction and cross multiply.

[1/4 = x/2]  → [2 = 4x]

Then you solve for x by dividing both sides by 4.

[2 = 4x] → x = 2/4 or x = .5

The answer is .5 centimeters.

Since 1cm represents 4 meters then .5cm would represent 2 meters.

The door is 0.5 centimeters high

The door would be 0.5 cm tall

0.5

The scale drawing would be 1/2 a centimeter tall
