Daisy is given a scale drawing with the route to her campsite. The route to the campsite is 28 cm on the drawing. The scale on the drawing is 1 : 300. What is the actual length of the route?

The actual length of the route is 8400.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Ratio of scale drawing = 1 : 300

It means that 1 cm on the scale drawing is equal to 300 in actual length.

We have to find the actual distance for 28 cm on the scale drawing.

Let,

x be the actual length of route.

This shows a proportional relationship.

1 : 300 :: 28 : x

Product of extreme = Product of mean

x = 300*28

x = 8400

Hence,

The actual length of the route is 8400.
