Paul is looking at a detailed plan showing the layout of the extension with the new equipment, He knows the new oven will be 1.5 meters wide and on the plan it measures 7.5 centimeters. What scale is used on the plan?

Scale = 1/200 = 1 : 200

Therefore, 1 centimeter on the plan represent 200 centimeters on the original length.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale is the ratio of the original object to the drawn plan.

Scale = plan : original

Scale = plan length ÷ original length

Plan length = 7.5 centimeters

Original length = 1.5 meters = 1,500 centimeters

Substituting the values;

Scale = 7.5/1500 = 1/200

Scale = 1 : 200

Therefore, 1 centimeter on the plan represent 200 centimeters on the original length.
