Answer 1

Answer: x = 0.4

Step-by-step explanation: 750 / 1 = 301 / x

The value of x is below

x = 301 / 750

x = 0.4

Answer 2

In this item we let x be teh height of hte scale model of the Eiffel tower then us the concept of ratio and proportion to determine its value. That is,

750 / 1 = 301 / x

The value of x is calculated as below.

x = 301 / 750
Simplifying,
x = 0.4
Hence, the answer to this item is 0.4 meters.
