The drawing of the tabletop is 8 centimeters long. If the scale of the drawing is 2 centimeters = 0.75 meters. How many meters long is the coffee table that Ernest designed?

The first thing we should find in that case is the number of times the scale of 0.75 meters is repeated. For this, we make the following division:

n = (8) / (2) = 4

n = 4

The number of divisions of the scale is 4.

Then, we multiply the number of divisions by the measure of each division to find the length of the table:

L = 0.75 * n

L = 0.75 * (4)

L = 3

answer

the coffee table that Ernest designed is 3 meters long
