Question

Dollhouse furnishing come in different sizes depending on the size of the doll house. Whyyy ratio of the size of the dollhouse item to the size of the larger item dollhouse piano: 1 3/4 in. High real piano: 3ft 6in. High

Answer 1

1: 24

Explanation:

The ratio = size of smaller object/size of larger object = Height of dollhouse piano, h/height of real piano, H

H = 3 ft 6 in = 12 in/ft × 3 ft + 6 in = 36 in + 6 in = 42 in

h = 1³/₄ in = 7/4 in

So ratio = h/H = 7/4 in ÷ 42 in = 7/4 in × 1/42 in = 1/4 × 1/6 = 1/24

So ratio = h/H = 1/24 ⇒ h:H = 1: 24
