A satellite is 18 meters wide, A model of it was built with a scale of 1 centimeter : 3 meters. How wide is the model.
To find the width of the model, we can use the scale factor of 1 centimeter : 3 meters.
First, we need to convert the width of the satellite from meters to centimeters. Since the satellite is 18 meters wide, we can convert this to centimeters by multiplying by 100 (1 meter = 100 centimeters):
18 meters * 100 = 1800 centimeters
Now, we can use the scale to find the width of the model:
1 centimeter : 3 meters
1800 centimeters / 3 = 600 centimeters
Therefore, the model of the satellite is 600 centimeters wide.
