Question

Omar is making a scale model of the Statue of Liberty for a report on New York . The Statue of Liberty is 305 feet tall measuring from the ground to the tip of the torch . If the model is 1/100 the actual size of the Statue of Liberty , how tall is the model?

Answer 1

305×1/100=305/100= 3.05 feet tall

Answer 2

The Statue of Liberty is 305 feet tall measuring from the ground to the tip of the torch . If the model is 1/100 the actual size of the Statue of Liberty

Actual size of the statue = 305

Model is $\frac{1}{100}$ of the actual size of the Statue of Liberty

Height of model =  $\frac{1}{100}$ of the actual size

=  $\frac{1}{100}$ * 305

=  $\frac{305}{100}$= 3.05

Model of Statue of Liberty is 3.05 feet tall
