Question

At a sporting event, players are projected as larger–than–life images on a large screen television using a scale of 4 inches = 5 feet. One of the players is 6 feet 4 inches tall, how tall will the player be on the screen? A.95 feet B.11 feet C.150 feet D.64 feet

Answer 1

Option A
`95\ ft`

Explanation:

we know that

`1\ ft=12\ in`

The height of the player is
`6\ ft\ +4\ in`

`6\ ft\ +4\ in=6*12+4=76\ in`

so

by proportion

`(4)/(5) (in)/(ft)=(76)/(x)(in)/(ft)\\ \\x=5*76/4\\ \\x=95\ ft`
