A satellite is 18 meters wide. A model of it was built with a scale of 1 centimeters: 3 meters. How wide is the model
The width of the model can be calculated by multiplying the actual width of the satellite by the scale factor:
Width of the satellite = 18 meters
Scale factor = 1 cm : 3 meters
1 cm represents 3 meters in the model, so the width of the model can be found by dividing the actual width by 3:
Width of the model = 18 meters / 3 = 6 meters
Therefore, the width of the model of the satellite is 6 meters.
