In an illustration of a ladybug, the length of the ladybug is 5.6 centimeters. The actual length of the ladybug is 0.7 centimeter. What is the scale of the drawing?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

written as a ratio it is 1:8, or 800% larger

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how u get 800%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not 800%, I meant 8 times larger, because 5.6 cm/.7=8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so I divide?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, but depending on how u are suppose to answer, u use the ratio 1:8, or say 8 times larger

OpenStudy (anonymous):
