a model of a park was built on a scale of 1.5 centimeters to 50 meters.If the distance between two trees in the park is 150 meters,what is this distance on the model?
miranda enlarged a picture propotionally.Her original picture is 4 cm wide and 6 cm long.If the new,larger picture is 10 cm wide, what is its length?
You should be able to do this in your head.
Isn't the 150m three times the 50 m of the scale?
so what is 3 x 1.5 ?
or solve
x/1.5 = 100/50
What did Miranda multiply the 4 cm by to get 10 cm?
Do the same thing to the 6 cm.
4.5
how long is a rectangular if its 15 inches wide
To find the distance on the model, you need to use the scale provided. The scale is 1.5 centimeters to 50 meters.
First, calculate the scale factor by dividing the distance on the model by the actual distance in real life.
Scale factor = 1.5 centimeters / 50 meters
Now, convert the given distance between the trees into the corresponding distance on the model using the scale factor.
Distance on the model = (Distance in real life) / Scale factor
Distance on the model = 150 meters / Scale factor
Substituting the scale factor, we get:
Distance on the model = 150 meters / (1.5 centimeters / 50 meters)
Simplifying, we divide 150 by (1.5/50):
Distance on the model = 150 meters / (0.03 meters)
Distance on the model = 5000 centimeters
Therefore, the distance between the trees on the model is 5000 centimeters.
