Which scale will produce the smallest drawing?

a) 1cm: 5m

b) 1mm: 50m

c) 5cm: 10m

d) 10cm: 25 m

The scale that will produce the smallest drawing would be b) 1mm:50m.

First, I converted all the measurements to centimeters:

a) 1cm:500cm

b) 0.01cm:5000cm

c) 5cm:1000cm

d) 10cm:2500cm

Then, you divide the scales:

a) 0.002

b) 0.000002

c) 0.005

d) 0.004

B is the smallest number, meaning it will be the smallest scale.
