If a block of height 2.5cm represent 100 goats ,how high should the block be to represent 170 goats

Answer 1

We can set up a proportion to solve for the height of the block:

2.5 cm / 100 goats = x cm / 170 goats

Cross multiplying, we get:

100 * x = 2.5 * 170

Simplifying, we find:

100x = 425

Dividing both sides by 100, we find:

x = 4.25

Therefore, the block should be 4.25 cm high to represent 170 goats.
