Question

you have been asked to build a scale model of your school out of toothpicks imagine your your school is 30 ft tall your scale is 1ft:1.26cm if a toothpick is 6.3 cm tall how many toothpicks tall will your model be

Answer 1

If your school is 30 feet tall and 1 feet is 1.26 cm, you would multiply 30 and 1.26 to get the height of the scale model which is 37.8 cm. Then, if each toothpick is 6.3 cm, you would take 37.8 and divide it by 6.3 to get the number of toothpicks you need to build the school, which is 6.

The model will be 6 toothpicks tall.
