Question

The Golden Gate Bridges 8980 feet long. For a science project, Gabriel built a scale model of the bridge. How long is the bridge if he used the scale 1 millimeter = 20 feet?

Answer 1

To make a scale model of Golden Bridge, Gabriel build 449 mm of Model

Explanation:

Given as,

The height of Golden Bridge = 8980 feet

Gabriel consider 1 millimeter equivalent to 20 feet

So, For 20 feet, the measure of scale = 1 mm

∴ For 8980 feet, the measure of scale =
`(1)/(20)` × 8980 mm

=
`(8980)/(20)` mm

= 449 millimeter

Hence, to make a scale model of Golden Bridge, Gabriel build 449 mm of Bridge model ... Answer
