The hieght of a model rocket is 4% of the height of the actual rocket.The model is 1.8 meters high. How high is the actual rocket?
what is 1/.04 x 1.8?
To find the height of the actual rocket, we can set up a proportion using the given information.
Let's let x represent the height of the actual rocket.
We are given that the height of the model rocket (1.8 meters) is 4% of the height of the actual rocket (x).
So, we can write the proportion as:
1.8 / x = 4 / 100
To find x, we can cross-multiply and solve the equation:
1.8 * 100 = 4 * x
180 = 4 * x
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 4 to isolate x:
180 / 4 = x
45 = x
Therefore, the height of the actual rocket is 45 meters.
