If Mail is almost a meter, would the scaled down version be larger?
x = 38.2/19100 = ?
A.) 13.5cm
B.) 6cm
C.) 13.5m
D.) 6m. **When I did the calculation I got 0.135. I know it would be 13.5 but would it be in cm or m?
Carly drew a scale diagram of Calgary tower. The height of the actual tower is 191m. The height in Carly's diagram is 38.2cm. Determine the scale factor of the diagram
A.) 0.5
B.) 5
C.) 0.02
D.) 0.002
x = 38.2/19100 = ?
Select one:
a.
42 cm
b.
117 cm
c.
117 m
d.
42 m
0.15 * 0.90 = 0.135m
You correctly calculated 0.135m, which means the stuffed animal Amik is 0.135 meters long.
However, the answer choices are given in centimeters, so you need to convert 0.135 meters to centimeters.
1 meter = 100 centimeters
0.135m * 100 = 13.5cm
The correct answer is option A.) 13.5cm.
For the second question, to determine the scale factor of Carly's diagram, you need to divide the height of the actual tower (191m) by the height in Carly's diagram (38.2cm).
First, convert the height of the actual tower to centimeters:
1 meter = 100 centimeters
191m * 100 = 19100cm
Now divide the height in centimeters by the height in Carly's diagram:
19100cm / 38.2cm = 500
The scale factor of the diagram is 500.
The correct answer is option B.) 5.
