<PRE><B>Question 284832</B>
10/8 * 27 = 33.75 millimeters


10 is 1.25 times 8.


since 8 = 27 millimeters, and 10 = 1.25 times 8, then 1.25 times 27 millimeters = 33.75 millimeters.


another way of looking at it is:


27 millimeters = 8 meters.


27/8 = 3.375 millimeters on the blue print per 1 meter in real life.


10 meters in real life = 10 * 3.375 millimters per meter = 33.75 millimeters on the blueprint.
