Question

Lin has a scale model of a modern train. The model is created at a scale of 1 to 48. The height of the model train is 102 milliliters. What is the actual height in meters?

Answer 1

Answer: The actual height of train = 4.896 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Lina has a scale model of a modern train

Model is created at a scale is given by

1:48

Height of the model train = 102 millimeters

We need to find the actual height of the train.

Since there is direct variation between model and actual height of the train.

According to question,

$\frac{1}{48}=\frac{102}{x}\\\\x=102\times 48\\\\x=4896\ millimeters\\\\x=4.896\ m$

Hence, the actual height of train = 4.896 meters.
