If you use the ratio 1:200 (1cm for every 200 in) how many cm would a object be if it was 11,808 inches
To find out how many centimeters an object would be if it measures 11,808 inches using a 1:200 ratio, you need to set up a proportion.
The ratio is given as 1 cm for every 200 inches. This can be written as 1cm/200in.
Let x be the number of centimeters the object measures.
So, the proportion can be set up as: 1cm/200in = x cm/11,808in.
To solve this proportion and find the value of x, cross-multiply and then solve for x:
200in * x cm = 1cm * 11,808in
200x = 11,808
x = 11,808 / 200
Evaluating this expression:
x ≈ 59.04 cm
Therefore, if an object measures 11,808 inches, it would be approximately 59.04 centimeters long using a 1:200 ratio.
