Question

Howard has a scale model of statue of liberty. The model is 15 inches tall the clay of the model to the actual statue is 1 inch 6.6.2 meter which equation can Howard use to determine x the height in meters of the statue of liberty

Answer 1

The equation that Howard can use to determine x is
`x=15*6.2`

The height of the statue of liberty is
`93\ m`

Explanation:

Let

x-----> the height in meters of the statue of liberty

we know that

Using proportion

`(1)/(6.2)(in)/(m) =(15)/(x)(in)/(m)`

`x=15*6.2` -----> equation that Howard can use to determine x

`x=93\ m`
