A satellite is 18 meters wide. A model of it was built with a scale of 1 centimeter : 3 meter. How wide is the model? (1 point)
A. 6 meters
B. 6 centimeters
C. 54 meters
D. 54 centimeters
B. 6 centimeters
To find the width of the model in centimeters, we need to take the width of the satellite (18 meters) and divide by the scale factor (3 meters per 1 centimeter):
18 meters / 3 meters = 6 centimeters
Therefore, the model is 6 centimeters wide.
