Mail, a beaver at a zoo, is 0.90m long. A stuffed animal version of Amik is sold in the gift shop. If the scale factor used to reduce the real Amik to the stuffed animal Amik is 0.15, how long is the stuffed animal Amik?
A.) 13.5cm
B.) 6cm
C.) 13.5m
D.) 6m. **When I did the calculation I got 0.135. I know it would be 13.5 but would it be in cm or m?
Carly drew a scale diagram of Calgary tower. The height of the actual tower is 191m. The height in Carly's diagram is 38.2cm. Determine the scale factor of the diagram
A.) 0.5
B.) 5
C.) 0.02
D.) 0.002
If Mail is almost a meter, would the scaled down version be larger?
x = 38.2/19100 = ?
Adolph, a dolphin at a zoo, is 7 m long. A stuffed animal version of Adolph is sold in the gift shop. If the scale factor used to reduce the real Adolph to the stuffed animal Adolph is 0.06, how tall is the stuffed animal Adolph?
Select one:
a.
42 cm
b.
117 cm
c.
117 m
d.
42 m
To get the length of the stuffed animal Amik, you need to multiply the scale factor (0.15) by the length of the real Amik (0.90m).
0.15 * 0.90 = 0.135m
You correctly calculated 0.135m, which means the stuffed animal Amik is 0.135 meters long.
However, the answer choices are given in centimeters, so you need to convert 0.135 meters to centimeters.
1 meter = 100 centimeters
0.135m * 100 = 13.5cm
The correct answer is option A.) 13.5cm.
For the second question, to determine the scale factor of Carly's diagram, you need to divide the height of the actual tower (191m) by the height in Carly's diagram (38.2cm).
First, convert the height of the actual tower to centimeters:
1 meter = 100 centimeters
191m * 100 = 19100cm
Now divide the height in centimeters by the height in Carly's diagram:
19100cm / 38.2cm = 500
The scale factor of the diagram is 500.
The correct answer is option B.) 5.
