Question

Marley is creating a replica of the Statue of Liberty. The original statue is 305 feet tall including the base. Marley is using the scale 1 centimeter = 25 feet. How tall is the Statue of Liberty replica?

Answer 1

Answer:

12.2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem using rule of three:

If the scale says that 1 centimeter of the replica is equal to 25 feet of the real statue, so how many centimeter will have the replica if the real statue has 305 feet:

1 cm -> 25 feet

X cm -> 305 feet

1/X = 25/305

X = 305/25 = 12.2 cm

The Statue of Liberty replica will have 12.2 centimeters

Answer 2

305 feet will be

1/x = 25/305( cross multiply)

X = 305/25

X = 12.2 cm
