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
