Town | Town | Actual Distance Between Towns |
Bellstown Lewis City 120 km
Bellstown Jenkinsville 40 km
Jenkinsville Lewis City 60 km
Arturo creates a scale drawing showing these distances. If the distance between Lewis City and Bellstown is 6 centimeters on his drawing, how far apart are Lewis City and Jenkinsville on Arturo’s drawing?
First, we need to identify the scale factor by dividing the actual distance between Lewis City and Bellstown (120 km) by the distance on the scale drawing (6 cm):
Scale factor = 120 km / 6 cm = 20
Next, we use this scale factor to find the distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville on Arturo's drawing:
Distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville on drawing = 60 km / 20 = 3 cm
Therefore, Lewis City and Jenkinsville are 3 centimeters apart on Arturo's scale drawing.

I apologize for the mistake. Let's reassess the situation.
Given:
- Distance between Bellstown and Lewis City: 120 km
- Distance between Bellstown and Jenkinsville: 40 km
- Distance between Jenkinsville and Lewis City: 60 km
- Distance between Bellstown and Lewis City on the scale drawing: 6 cm
First, we need to find the scale factor:
Scale factor = 120 km / 6 cm = 20 km/cm
Now, we can find the distance between Lewis City and Jenkinsville on Arturo's drawing:
Distance between Jenkinsville and Lewis City on the scale drawing = 60 km / 20 km/cm = 3 cm
Therefore, Lewis City and Jenkinsville are 3 centimeters apart on Arturo's scale drawing.
