YOUR RATIO IS 1:12, WHICH MEANS THAT ANYTHING ON YOUR DRAWING IS 1/12 AS SMALLER THAN REAL LIFE. IN YOUR PROBLEM, YOUR ITEM IS 3 CM WIDE. JUST MULTIPLY BY 12 TO FIND THE ACTUAL SIZE. YOUR ITEM IS 36 CM WIDE. I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU!? ANYMORE QUESTIONS, JUST E MAIL ME : cats7051@yahoo.com YOUR MATH FRIEND AND ON-LINE TUTOR, TERRY :)
