Question

On a scale drawing a dog house is 6 centimeters tall. If the actual dog house is 51

Answer 1

Answer:

0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

The scaled height of the dog house  = 6cm

     Original height  = 51inches

         let us convert the original height to cm;

          1in = 2.54cm

         51in  = 51 x 2.54  = 129.54cm

Scale factor;

   $\frac{scaled height}{original height}$  = $\frac{6}{129.54}$

                        = 0.05

The scale factor is 0.05, the drawing has been reduced by a multiple of 0.05 of the actual height
