Question

A Stegosaurus skeleton at a museum has a height of 4meters . The gift shop at the museum sells a model of the Stegosaurus. The scale used to create the model was 1cm=0.16m . What is the height, in centimeters, of the model of the Stegosaurus in the gift shop?

Answer 1

Answer:

25 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Height = 4\ m$

$Scale: 1cm = 0.16m$

Required

Determine the scale measurement of the given height

Represent this with x

So:

$1cm = 0.16m$

$x = 4m$

Cross Multiply

$x * 0.16m = 1cm * 4m$

$x * 0.16 = 1cm * 4$

$x * 0.16 = 4cm$

Solve for x

$x = 4cm/0.16$

$x = 25cm$
