Question

At a sporting event, players are projected as larger–than–life images on a large screen television using a scale of 4 inches = 5 feet. One of the players is 6 feet 4 inches tall, how tall will the player be on the screen? A.95 feet B.11 feet C.150 feet D.64 feet

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A $95\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

$1\ ft=12\ in$

The height of the player is $6\ ft\ +4\ in$

$6\ ft\ +4\ in=6*12+4=76\ in$  

so

by proportion

$\frac{4}{5} \frac{in}{ft}=\frac{76}{x}\frac{in}{ft}\\ \\x=5*76/4\\ \\x=95\ ft$
