Question

Marita's nose is 2 inches long and her head is 9 inches tall. Assume Mount Rushmore was carved using the same ratio. If Teddy Roosevelt's head is 60 feet tall, how long should his nose be? Round to the nearest foot, if necessary.

Answer 1

Answer:

13 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

So the question is Marita's nose is 2 inches long and her head is 9 inches tall. Assume Mount Rushmore was carved using the same ratio. If Teddy Roosevelt's head is 60 feet tall, how long should his nose be? Round to the nearest foot, if necessary.

First divide 60 by 9 to figure out the first part of the ratio. So that is 60/9 or    6 2/3.

Then multiply 2 by 6 2/3 which is 13 1/3.

Finally when rounded to the nearest foot, it will be 13.
