Question

A scale model of a sculpture has a scale of 2:49.

The height of the model is 24 cm.
Find the height of the actual sculpture.
Give your answer in m.

Answer 1

ok so if the scale is 2:49 that can be simplified as 1:98

so that means the real one is 98 times bigger then 24

98*24= 2352 cm or 196 feet
