To find the width of the model, we first need to calculate the scale factor:
3 meters = 1 centimeter
1 meter = 1/3 centimeters
Next, we convert the width of the satellite into centimeters using the scale factor:
18 meters x (1/3) centimeters/meter = 6 centimeters
Therefore, the width of the model of the satellite is 6 centimeters.
a satellite is 18 meters wide a model of it was built with a scale of 1 centimeter : 3 meters how wide is the model?
