The scale drawing represents Kim’s living room. She wants to put new baseboards on the walls of the room. If the scale is 2 cm:1 m and the baseboard costs $4.19 per meter, how much would it cost to put baseboards in Kim’s living room?
Note, DS...2cm = 1m is the same as 1cm = (1/2)m (1)
And there are 38 total cm in the scale drawing
So multiplying (1) by 38 on each side gives us 38cm = 38*(1/2)m = 19m
So 19m x $4.19 per m = $ 79.61
