Question

In the scale model, the length of the table is centimeters. What is the length of the real table? (b)The height of the real table is inches. What is the height of the table in the scale model?

Answer 1

The height of real table would be 24 inches and the height of scale model would be 2 centimeters.

Using the scale given:

• 1 cm : 6 inches

A.)

Length of table in scale model = 4 centimeters

The length of real table can be calculated thus;

1 = 6

4 = x

cross multiply

x = 6 × 4

x = 24

Hence , the length of real table is 24 inches.

B.)

Height of real table = 12 inches

The height of table in scale model would be ;

1 = 6

x = 12

cross multiply

6x = 12

x = 12/6

x = 2

Hence, height of scale model would be 2 centimeters .

Answer 2

Given the question in the image, the following are the solutions to the questions.

Question a: 4 centimeters to x inches

Hence, the length of the real table is 24 inches.

Question b: the scale model of the real table with length of 12 inches

Hence, the height of the table in the scale model is 2centimeters.
