Question

The Eiffel Tower is about 301 m tall Cooper is making a scale model of the using the scale 750 meters : 1 meter to the nearest 10th of a meter, what will be the height of the scale model

Answer 1

Assuming the scale is 750:1, you can set up the following proportion:


`(301)/(x) = (750)/(1)`

Cross multiply the values.

750x = 301

Divide both sides by 750 to solve for x.

x =
`(301)/(750)`

Converted to a decimal and rounded to the nearest tenth, the scale model will be 0.4 meters tall.
