If someone could explain the equation so I can answer the rest that would be amazing! A stone statue is 15 meters tall. A model
of the statue was built with a scale of 1 cm : 5 m.
How tall is the model?
A. 75 cm
B. 10 cm
C. 3 cm
D. 15 m
2 answers:
Answer: 3 cm
Work Shown:
(1 cm)/(5 m) = (x cm)/(15 m)
1/5 = x/15
1*15 = 5*x ... cross multiply
15 = 5x
5x = 15
x = 15/5
x = 3
The model is 3 cm tall.
Answer:
C) 3cm
Step-by-step explanation:
this is a ratio, and ratios always have to be constant meaning there is a pattern. for 15 meters to become 5 what must happen? dividing by 3.
1:5 ?:15 you dont know the ? but you do know what it becomes after divided by 3. so multiply 1 by 3 to do the reverse.
comment if you have more questions!
