Answer:

Her door should be 3cm on scale

The actual dimension of the kitchen table is

[tex]Length = 1.6m[/tex]

[tex]Width = 1m[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Scale= 1 : 40[/tex]

[tex]Kitchen\ Dimension= 6m\ by\ 2m[/tex]

[tex]Door\ Width = 1.2m[/tex]

Solving (a): The width of the door on the scale

Represent the scale width with x

So, we have:

[tex]1 : 40[/tex]

and

[tex]x : 1.2[/tex]

Equate both ratios

[tex]1 : 40 = x : 1.2[/tex]

Represent as fraction

[tex]\frac{1}{40} = \frac{x}{1.2}[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]x = \frac{1.2}{40}[/tex]

[tex]x = 0.03m[/tex]

[tex]x = 3cm[/tex]

Hence, her door should be 3cm on scale

Solving (b): Actual Dimension of the kitchen table

To solve this, we simply multiply the scale dimensions by 40

[tex]Length = 4cm * 40[/tex]

[tex]Length = 160cm[/tex]

[tex]Length = 1.6m[/tex]

[tex]Width = 2.5cm * 40[/tex]

[tex]Width = 100cm[/tex]

[tex]Width = 1m[/tex]

Hence:

The actual dimension is

[tex]Length = 1.6m[/tex]

[tex]Width = 1m[/tex]
