Question

Item 1

park, he drew the length of the statue on his paper as 4.35 centimeters. The real statue is 100 times larger. How tall is the real statue in centimeters?

Answer 1

To find the height of the real statue, you need to multiply the length Finn drew by the scale factor. The scale factor in this case is 100.

So, you would calculate it as follows:

\[ \text{Height of the real statue} = \text{Length on paper} \times \text{Scale factor} \]

\[ \text{Height of the real statue} = 4.35 , \text{cm} \times 100 \]

\[ \text{Height of the real statue} = 435 , \text{cm} \]

Thus, the real statue is 435 centimeters tall.
