Since your scale is 1ft:1.26cm, a 30-ft tall school would need to have a 30*1.26=37.8 cm model. Dividing this by how tall each toothpick is, you'll get:

\frac{37.8}{6.3} =6

ANSWER: The model would be 6 toothpicks tall.

To find out how many cotton swabs you'll need, we just divide 37.8 by how tall each swab is:

\frac{37.8}{7.7} =5

ANSWER: The model would be 5 cotton swabs tall.

A)Plugging in our initial statement values of y = 16 when x = 10, we get:

16 = 10k

Divide each side by 10 to solve for k:

16/10=

 k = 1.6

Solve the second part of the variation equation:

Because we have found our relationship constant k = 1.6, we form our new variation equation:

y = 1.6x

Since we were given that x, we have

y = 1.6()

y = 0


B)Plugging in our initial statement values of y = 1 when x = 15, we get:

1 = 15k

Divide each side by 15 to solve for k:

1/15

=15k

k = 0.066666666666667
