Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale model means that the ratios stay the same.

Therefore, Earth's diameter divided by Pluto's diameter is equal to the ratio of Earth's model's diameter divided by Pluto's model's diameter.

We can write this as

8000 / 1500 = 32/ Pluto's model's diameter. Representing Pluto's model's diameter as P, we can say

8000 / 1500 = 32 / P

multiply both sides by 1500 to remove a denominator

8000 = 32 * 1500 / P

multiply both sides by P to remove the other denominator

8000 * P = 32 * 1500

divide both sides by 8000 to isolate the P

P = 32 * 1500/8000

= 6 inches

An unknown fraction is between 0 and 1. Which is true about the equivalent percent and decimal?
horsena [70]
Its equivalent percent is less than 100% and its equivalent decimal is less than 0.99 or less.

For example, 1/2 is a fraction between 0 and 1. Its percentage is 50%, which is less than 100%. Its decimal is 0.50, which is less than 1 or 0.99
