Sagot :
If your school is 30 feet tall and 1 feet is 1.26 cm, you would multiply 30 and 1.26 to get the height of the scale model which is 37.8 cm. Then, if each toothpick is 6.3 cm, you would take 37.8 and divide it by 6.3 to get the number of toothpicks you need to build the school, which is 6.
The model will be 6 toothpicks tall.
The model will be 6 toothpicks tall.
Answer:
The model will be approximately 5 cotton swabs tall.
The model will be 6 toothpicks tall.
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the number of centimeters in the scale model represented by 1 foot on the actual school.
1 ft
1.26 cm
1 foot on the actual school equals 1.26 centimeters on the scale model.
Find the height for your scale model represented by the height of the school.
1 ft × 30
1.26 cm × 30
=
30 ft
37.8 cm
The school will be 37.8 cm tall in your model.
To find how many toothpicks tall your model will be, divide its total height by the height of one toothpick.
37.8 cm ÷ 6.3 cm = 6
The model will be 6 toothpicks tall.
To find how many cotton swabs tall your model will be, divide the height of the model by the height of one cotton swab. If necessary, round to the nearest whole number.
37.8 cm ÷ 7.7 cm ≈ 5
The model will be approximately 5 cotton swabs tall.
