To make a monster appear large in a movie, a human actor wore a costume and walked through a scale model of a city. The scale used was 1 inch = 15 feet. The actor is 60 inches tall. How tall does the monster appear in the movie?
A. 4 feet
B. 75feet
C. 720feet
D. 900 feet
liessssss
15/1 =x/60
Multiply both sides by 60.
To find out how tall the monster appears in the movie, we need to convert the height of the actor from inches to feet and then scale it according to the scale used.
Given that the scale used is 1 inch = 15 feet, we can convert 60 inches to feet by dividing it by 12 (since there are 12 inches in a foot).
60 inches / 12 = 5 feet
Now, we need to scale the height of the actor by multiplying it by the scale factor. The scale factor is 15 since 1 inch is equal to 15 feet.
5 feet * 15 = 75 feet
Therefore, the monster appears to be 75 feet tall in the movie.
The correct answer is B. 75 feet.
