Scale of Leo's model = 2cm : 3 meters
Actual height of the Statue of Liberty in NYC (We have several copies elsewhere!) = 93 meters
For finding the solution, we use the Direct Rule of Three this way:
Scale in centimeters Scale in meters
2 3
x 93
x = Actual height of Leo's model
x * 3 = 2 * 93
3x = 186
Dividing by 3 at both sides:
x = 186/3
x = 62
The correct answer is that Leo's model is 62 cm height.
