Suppose you redraw the map at the left using a scale of 0.5 centimeter : 1 centimeter. Does your drawing enlarge or reduce the size of the map? Explain how you know.

The new drawing at the left enlarges the size of the original drawing.

Step-by-step explanation:

If I draw the map at the left using a scale of 0.5 cm : 1 cm.

That means the 0.5 cm length in the previous drawing is redrawn in the new map as 1 cm length.

Since 1 cm is larger than 0.5 cm and it is two times of 0.5 cm, so the new drawing at the left enlarges the size of the original drawing. (Answer)
