A Formula 1 race car is re-created as a toy car, reduced by a scale of. If the model version is 8.2 cm tall, how tall is the race car?
1.87 m
1.56 m
1.25 m
0.94 m
To find the height of the race car, we need to reverse the scaling and multiply the height of the toy car by the scale factor.
Let x be the height of the race car.
Given that the scale factor is 1/8.2, we can set up the equation: x = 8.2 * (1/8.2)
Simplifying the equation, we get:
x = 1
Therefore, the height of the race car is 1 meter.
The correct answer is 1.00 m.
