For a school project, Leo is making a model of the Statue of Liberty. He is using a scale of 2 cm:3 m. The Statue of Liberty is 93 meters tall.
How tall should Leo's model be?
plz help.
93/3 = 31
So, multiplying the ratio by 31, you get
62cm : 93m
Thank you.
On a scale drawing, a building is 5 1 inches tall. If the scale of the drawing is 1 in. : 8 ft, ·2·
how tall is the building?
To find out how tall Leo's model should be, we need to determine the scale factor between the actual height of the Statue of Liberty and the model's height.
The scale given is 2 cm:3 m, which means that for every 2 centimeters on the model, there are 3 meters in real life.
To find the height of the model, we can set up a proportion using the scale factor:
2 cm / 3 m = x cm / 93 m
Cross-multiplying, we get:
2 cm * 93 m = 3 m * x cm
186 cm*m = 3 m * x cm
186 cm*m = 3x cm*m
To isolate x, we divide both sides of the equation by 3:
186 cm*m / 3 = 3x cm*m / 3
62 cm*m = x cm*m
So, Leo's model should be 62 centimeters tall.
