Question

A rotating wind turbine has a diameter of about 145 feet and its circumference is about 456 feet. A smaller model of the turbine has a circumference of about 16 feet. What will the diameter of the model be? If necessary, round to the nearest whole number.
The diameter of the model will be about ___ feet

Answer 1

Answer:

ross-multiplication.

circumference divided by the diameter

10/x = 580/185

10x185=1850

1850/580=3.189

Answer 2

Answer:

7 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve

• Set up a proportion using the given information for the turbine and its model.

C /d =  

C /d

• Set up a proportion.

660 /210 =  

22/ d

• Substitute the given values.

660 ÷ 30

210 ÷ 30  ≈  

22/ d

Since 660 divided by 30 is approximately 22, divide 210 by 30 to find the value of d.

660 /210  ≈  

22/ 7

 d ≈ 7

The diameter of the model is approximately 7 feet.
