Construct a scale of 1.5cm = 1 dm to read up to 1 meter. Show on it a length of 0.6m.

Construct a scale of 1.5cm = 1 dm to read up to 1 meter. Show on it a length of 0.6m. 
 Sol) Given data: 

 RF   = 1.5 cm/ 1 dm  = 1.5/ (1 X 10) (1 dm = 10 cm) = 3/20. 

 Max Length (ML) = 10 dm (1 m =10 dm) ;( no. of parts of scale (n) =10 parts)   Length of scale (LOS) = RF X ML (in cm)     = (3/20) x 1 x 100 cm (1 m=100cm)     = 15 cm. 

The length of the line that is drawn on the drawing sheet is 15 cm. 


The length to be shown is 0.6 m = 6 dm = 6 dm + 0 cm
