Question

Howard has a scale model of the Statue of Liberty. The model is 15 inches tall. The scale of the model to the actual statue is 1 inch: 6.2 meters. What equation can Howard use to determine x, the height in meters, of the Statue of Liberty?

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation that Howard can use to determine x is

$x=15*6.2$

The height of the statue of liberty is $93\ m$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the height in meters of the statue of liberty

we know that

Using proportion

$\frac{1}{6.2}\frac{in}{m} =\frac{15}{x}\frac{in}{m}$

$x=15*6.2$ -----> equation that Howard can use to determine x $x=93\ m$
