Question

You have been asked to build a scale model of your school out of toothpicks. Imagine your school is 30 feet tall. Your scale is 1 ft:1.26 cm. If a toothpick is 6.3 cm tall, how many toothpicks tall will your model be?

Answer 1

6 tooth picks would be the answer to your question

Answer 2

Answer: 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.
