Question

At a height of about 212 meters, One Shell Square is the tallest building in New Orleans. Marlie is creating a scale model of this building, using the scale 250 meters : 1 meter. To the nearest tenth of a meter, what will be the height of the scale model? Enter your answer as a decimal in the box.

Answer 1

The correct answer for this question is this one:

It is sad that...
At a height of about 212 meters, One Shell Square is the tallest building in New Orleans. Marlie is creating a scale model of this building, using the scale 250 meters : 1 meter

So, that is 212/250 = 0.848. The answer in nearest tenth of a meter is 0.8

Answer 2

Answer:

$0.8\ m$

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we know that

The scale is equal to

$\frac{1}{250}\frac{m}{m}$

so

by proportion

Find what will be the height of the scale model

$\frac{1}{250}\frac{m}{m}=\frac{x}{212}\frac{m}{m}\\ \\x=212/250\\ \\x= 0.848\ m$

Round to the nearest tenth of a meter

$0.848\ m=0.8\ m$
