Answer:

drawing = 10 cm for the width.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 cm / 9 m = x / 90 m

If the meters go on the bottom in the left ratio, they must go on the bottom on the right ratio. In this case the cm is the unknown and it must go on the top with no units.

Cross multliply

9 m * x = 90m * 1cm        

Divide by 9

9m * x/ 9m = 90 m * 1 cm / 9m       Notice the units (m) cancel out

x = 10 cm
