    Ok, so 1/2 centimeter = 6 inches
    let’s first take the length witch is 72 inches and divide that by 6. Then, since it half a centimeter, divide in half.
    72/6 = 12     12/2 = 6 centimeters
    Next is the width. Now we the same thing as the length. Take 60 and divide by 6 then divide in half.
    69/6 = 10.    10/2 = 5 centimeters
    In summary, The scale drawing has length of  6 centimeters and a width of 5 centimeters.
