Q. A scale on a blue print drawing of a house shows that

10

centimeters represents

2

meters.

\newline

What number of actual meters are represented by

18

centimeters on the blue print?

\newline

meters

Identify Scale and Measurement: Identify the given scale and the measurement on the blueprint. The scale given is $10$ centimeters represents $2$ meters. Measurement on the blueprint is $18$ centimeters.
Set Up Proportion: Set up a proportion to find out how many meters $18$ centimeters represent. $\newline$ If $10$ centimeters represent $2$ meters, then $1$ centimeter represents $\frac{2}{10}$ meters.
Calculate Meters: Calculate the number of meters that $18$ centimeters represent. $\newline$ Number of meters = $(18 \text{ centimeters}) \times (2 \text{ meters} / 10 \text{ centimeters})$
Perform Calculation: Perform the calculation. $\newline$ Number of meters = $18 \times (2 / 10)$ $\newline$ Number of meters = $18 \times 0.2$ $\newline$ Number of meters = $3.6$
