You have been asked to build a scale model of your school out of toothpicks. Imagine your school is 30 feet tall. Your scale is 1 ft:1.47 cm.


If a toothpick is 6.3 cm tall, how many toothpicks tall will your model be?

1 answer

1.47cm * (1pick/6.3cm) = 0.233 pick
1 ft : 1.47cm = 1 ft : 0.233 pick = 30 ft : 7 picks
