A. A statue cast a shadow that is 360 m long. At the same time, a person who is 2m tall casts a shadow that is 6m long How tall is the statue?


B. A model car has a scale of 1cm: 0.8 cm. If the model is 8.5 cm long. How long is the actual car.

Answer 1

A. The ratio of the person's shadow to their height is 6:2 or 3:1, so the height of the shadow is 360/3 or 120 m.
B. The model car's length divided by the ratio to the real car, which is 8.5/0.8 = 10.625 cm long.

Answer 2

A: 2m is 6m shadow. So the shadow is 3 times the object. Therefore 360 shadow to find the person will be 360/3 or 120.
B: so 1:0.8 8.5 is what? So the first part (1) is multiplied by 8.5 so you need .8 times 8.5. 6.80 is your answer.
