Question

Colin uses toy bricks to construct a 24 centimeters tall model of his favorite castle. If the real castle is 96 meters tall, what is the scale of his model?

Answer 1

The scale is;

1:400

Explanation:

Here, we want to find the scale of the model

From the question he is making 24 cm look like 96 m( this is 96 * 100 = 9,600 cm)

Thus, we have the scale as;

24 cm to 9,600 cm

The answer here is thus;

24 : 9,600

=

1 : 400
