Answer:

Option (d) is correct.

The actual length of the kitten is 48 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: the scale is 1 cm : 6 cm. and the length of a kitten on a scale drawing is 8 cm.

We have to find the actual length of the kitten.

Given scale 1 cm : 6 cm

That is for 6 cm of actual length while drawing is equal to 1 cm.

then, 8 cm of drawing is equal to 6 × 8 = 48 cm of actual length.

Thus, the actual length of the kitten is 48 cm

Option (d) is correct.

Answer:

Option D is correct

The actual length of the kitten is, 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportion states that two ratios or fractions are equal.

As per the statement:

The length of a kitten on a scale drawing is 8 cm.

Scale is 1 cm : 6 cm.

We have to find the actual length of the kitten.

Let actual length of the kitten be x.

then by definition we have;

[tex]\frac{1}{6} = \frac{8}{x}[/tex]

By cross multiply we have;

[tex]x = 48[/tex]

Therefore, the actual length of the kitten is, 48
