The blueprint for a new community center measures 85 centimeters long by 55 centimeters wide. if the community center is actually 45 meters long, what is the actual width of the community center

The width of the community center is 29.12 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Measurement in blueprint is 85 cm long by 55 cm wide.

The actual length of the community center = 45 meters = 4500 cm

Let "x" be the actual width of the community center.

Let's form the proportion

Blueprint                Actual

85                              4500

55                               x

85/55  = 4500/x

Cross multiplying, we get

85x = 55 *4500

85x = 247500

x = 247500/85

x = 2911.76 cm

Let's convert cm to meters, divide 2911.76 by 100

x = 2911.76/100

x = 29.12 meters
