Question

Stacy is making a scale model of the Eiffel Tower for French class. Her model is 500 times smaller than the actual tower, which is 300 meters tall. How many millimeters tall is Stacy's model?

Answer 1

Answer: 600 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let height of her model be x meters

So,

500x = 300

$\begin{aligned}&\rightarrow x=\frac{300}{500} \\&\rightarrow x=\frac{3}{5}=0.6 \text { meters } \\&\rightarrow x=0.6 \times 1000 \text { millimeters } \\&\rightarrow x=600 \text { millimeters }\end{aligned}$

Therefore, Stacy's model is 600 millimeters tall
