Question

Mike is building a scale model of the statue of liberty, which is 305 feet tall. If she uses the scale of 1 inch = 10 feet,how tall will her model be? Put the exact answer

Answer 1

Answer:

The height of the model is 30.5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale is

$\frac{1}{10}\frac{in}{ft}$

using proportion

Find out how tall will her model be  if the actual height is 305 ft

Let

x -----> the height of the model in inches

$\frac{1}{10}\frac{in}{ft}=\frac{x}{305}\frac{in}{ft}\\\\x=305/10\\\\x=30.5\ in$

therefore

The height of the model is 30.5 in
