that friend is actually 65 inches tall, which equation can Archie use to find his actual height in inches, h, if he is m millimeters
tall in the picture?
A. H=26/65 m
B. h = 2m
C. h= 1/2 m
D. h= 0.04mm

Answer 1

Option C

Answer:

If height of Archie is m millimeter in picture, then actual height in inches is (
`(1)/(2)`)m inches. Hence correct option is C

Solution:

Given information is

Archie has a picture of himself and five friends.

Height of one friend in image in millimeter = 130.

Actual height of that friend in inches is = 65

It means 130 millimeter of picture = 65 inches of actual

So 1 millimeter of picture = (
`(65)/(130)`) inches in actual.

So m
`*` 1 millimeter in picture = (
`(65)/(130)`)
`*` m inches in actual.

So if height of Archie is m millimeter in picture, than actual height in inches is (
`(65)/(130)`)m = (
`(1)/(2)`)m inches .

Hence correct option is C
