Answer:

a. 12.8 cm    b. 3.125

Step-by-step explanation:

To find any scale drawing use a proportion with one unit of values on the top and the other on the bottom. For example 8cm/5km = x/8km. So you would multiply 8 cm and 8 km and then divide by 5 to get 12.8 cm. For the second question plug in 5m in the numerator and solve for its denominator.
