Given that the length of a boat is 10.8 m, and Boris buys a scale model of the boat whose ratio is 1 to 18, to determine the length of the scale model of the boat in centimeters the following calculation must be performed:
1m = 100cm
10.8 m = (10.8 x 100) = 1080 cm
1080/18 = X
60 = X
Therefore, the size of the scale model is 60 centimeters.
