To find the width of the model, we first need to convert the actual width of the satellite to centimeters to match the scale.
18 meters * 100 centimeters/meter = 1800 centimeters
Now we can use the scale to find the width of the model:
1 centimeter on the model represents 3 meters in real life
1800 centimeters / 3 meters = 600 centimeters
Therefore, the width of the model is 600 centimeters.
A satellite is 18 meters wide. A model of it was built with a scale of 1 centimeter: 3 meters.
