Question

Ganesh is making a scale model of the Space Needle in Seattle, Washington. The space needle is 605 feet tall. If the model is 1/100 the actual size of the Space Needle, how tall is the model? _____ feet

Answer 1

`Model = 6.05ft`

Explanation:

Given

`Space\ Needle = 605ft`

`Scale\ Model = (1)/(100)`

Required

Determine the height of the model.

To do this, we simply multiply the scale model by the height of the space needle.

`Model = Scale\ Model * Space\ Needle`

`Model = (1)/(100) * 605ft`

`Model = (605ft)/(100)`

`Model = 6.05ft`

Hence, the height of the model is 6.05ft
