Question

The sculptures at Mount Rushmore each measure about 60 feet from chin to forehead. For the average person, this distance is 9 inches. The average distance between a person's ears is 6 inches. What is the ratio of a person's chin to forehead distance compared to the distance between his ears?

Answer 1

the answer is 3/2 I just answered and got it right

Answer 2

Distance from chin to forehead is 1.5 times the distance between ears.

Explanation:

We are told that distance from chin to forehead for the average person is 9 inches and distance between a person's ears is 6 inches. We are supposed to compare the ratio of a person's chin to forehead distance with respect to the distance between his ears.

We can present our given information as:
`(9)/(6)`

`(9)/(6) =1.5`

Therefore, distance from chin to forehead is 1.5 times the distance between ears.
