Question

Sheila is making a model of a stadium using a scale where 3 centimeters equal 20 feet. If the model is 30.5 centimeters wide, what is the actual width of the stadium, in feet?

Answer 1

answer is in the explanation

Explanation:

first w have to get from 3cm to 30.5cm

to do that we can multiply by 10 1/6

3*10=30

1*3=3

30 3/6

the scale factor, like I said is 10 1/6.

20*10 1/6=20*10+20*1/6=200+20/6=203 2/6, or 203 1/3, or 203.3333333, or 610/3
