Thanks!

To find the ratio of the length of the car to the length of the model, we need to compare the two lengths.

Given that the car is 3 meters long and the model is 3 centimeters long, the units need to be consistent before we can compare them.

There are 100 centimeters in 1 meter, so we can convert the length of the car to centimeters by multiplying it by 100:

3 meters x 100 centimeters/meter = 300 centimeters

Now we can compare the length of the car (300 centimeters) to the length of the model (3 centimeters).

The ratio is expressed as "length of car : length of model". Considering the options provided:

A. 3 : 3
B. 1 : 100
C. 1 : 3
D. 100 : 1

The correct ratio is D. 100 : 1 because the length of the car (300 centimeters) is 100 times longer than the length of the model (3 centimeters).
