If you built a model of the Empire State Building that is proportional to the real building. The height of the Empire State Buil

ding is 1,250 feet. If the scale of your model is 1 inch = 50 feet how tall is your model?

Let’s see now, there are 600 inches in 50 feet.
12in = 1ft, 12in * 50 = 600.
Which means the model you’ll be making will be a 1:600 ratio model. If we find out how many inches are in 1,250 feet, and divide that number by 600, we will get our answer.
1,250 * 12 = 15,000.
So 1,250 feet equate to 15,000 inches. Now we must divide 15,000 by 600.
15,000 ÷ 600 = 25.
So your model will be 25 inches (or 2’1” [2 feet & 1 inch] tall).

In The autumn 40% of the leaves on a tree are yellow and 24% of them are green the remaining 72 leaves are half yellow how many

Charra [1.4K]

Percentage of yellow leaves on a tree during Autumn = 40%

Percentage of green leaves on a tree during Autumn = 24%

Percentage of half yellow leaves on the tree during Autumn :

$= \tt100 - 40 + 24$

$= \tt 100 - 64$

$= \tt 36 \%$ Thus, the percentage of half yellow leaves on the tree during Autumn = 36%

Number of half yellow leaves on the tree = 36%

Let the total number of leaves on the tree be x.

Which means :

$= \tt36 \% \: of \: x = 72$

$= \tt \frac{36}{100} \times x = 72$

$= \tt \frac{36 \times x}{100} = 72$

$= \tt \frac{36x}{100} = 72$

$= \tt 36x = 72 \times 100$

$= \tt36x = 7200$

$= \tt x = \frac{7200}{36}$

$\color{plum} = \tt \: x = 200$

Thus, total number of leaves on the tree = 200

Number of yellow leaves on the tree :

$= \tt40 \% \: \: of \: \: 200$

$= \tt \frac{40}{100} \times 200$

$= \tt \frac{40 \times 200}{100}$

$= \tt \frac{8000}{100}$

$\color{plum} \tt = 80 \: yellow \: \: leaves$

Thus, total number of yellow leaves on the tree = 80

Number of green trees on the tree :

$= \tt24 \% \: \: of \: \: 200$

$= \tt \frac{24}{100} \times 200$

$= \tt \frac{24 \times 200}{100}$

$= \tt \frac{4800}{100}$

$\color{plum} = \tt 48 \: green \: \: leaves$

Thus, the total number of green leaves on the tree = 48

Since the sum of all types of leaves form 200[80+48+72=200], we can conclude that we have found out the correct number of each type of leaf.

▪︎Therefore, <em>the total number of leaves on the tree = 200</em>
