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?
A 1.87 m
B 1.56 m
C 1.25 m
D 0.94 m
To solve this problem, we need to determine the scale of the toy car model. Since the model version is reduced by a scale of, it means that the original race car is times taller than the model.
If the model version is 8.2 cm tall and we need to determine the height of the race car, we can set up an equation:
height of race car = scale x height of model
height of race car = x 8.2 cm
Simplifying the expression, we find:
height of race car = 15.48 cm
Converting 15.48 cm to meters, we divide by 100 since there are 100 centimeters in a meter:
height of race car = 0.1548 m
Therefore, the answer is rounded to 2 decimal places, the race car is approximately 0.15 m tall.
