Question

A toy car that is 0.12 m long is used to model the actions of an actual size car that is 6 m long which ratio shows the relationship between the sizes of the model and the actual car ?

Answer 1

The correct answer is - 1:50.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Model toy car = 0.12 m

Actual size of car = 6 m

The ratio of model and actual car size = ?

Solution:

We know that 1 m = 100 cm

then, Model toy car - 0.12*100 = 12 cm

and size of the actual car - 6*100 - 600 cm

Then the ratio of model and actual car size = model car size/ actual car size

= 12/600

= 1/50

Thus, the correct answer is - 1:50.
