Question

A bridge is 28 meters long. Find the length of a scale model if the scale is 1 cm = 5.5 meters. Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

If every 1 cm is 5.5 meters, then we should divide 28 by 5.5. You should get the answer 5.090...
But we'll round that down to 5. So 28 meters should be 5 cm in scale.

Answer 2

That should be rounded to 5.1 cm.
