A scale for a scale drawing is 10 cm : 1 mm. Which is larger, the actual object or the scale drawing? Explain.

I'm not sure if that's exactly what you mean, but if the scale of the drawing is 10cm:1mm, it means that 10cm of the drawing represents 1mm of the actual object. So the scale drawing is bigger than the object.

The correct answer is:
The scale drawing is larger.
Explanation :
A scale for a scale drawing is written as a ratio in the form (scale size):(actual size).
For example, on a map you may have a scale that says 1 in: 2 mi. This means that 1 inch on the scale is equal to 2 miles on the map.
The scale for this problem is 10 cm: 1 mm. This means that 10 cm on the scale drawing represents 1 mm on the actual object.
10 cm is larger than 1 mm, so the scale drawing is larger.

The scale drawing is larger than the actual object. The scale of 10 cm : 1 mm indicates that 10 cm in the drawing represents only 1 mm in reality. Therefore, the scale drawing is much bigger than the actual object.
