Question

Tom holland who plays Spider-Man has an action figure made of god character. Toms actual height is 68 inches abs his head measure 9.10 inches; based on this information set up a proportion to find the measurement of the action figure’s head

Answer 1

From the information provided, Tom's actual height is 68 inches while his head measures 9.1 inches.

The proportion of his head to his height therefore is;

`\frac{\text{head}}{\text{height}}=(9.1)/(68)`

The action figure measures 15 centimeters. Uing the standard rate of conversion (centimeters to inches) we would have;

Note that the centimeter measure is divided by 2.54 to get the equivalent in inches.

Now that we've derived the height of the action figure to be 5.9 inches, the proportion to calculate the action figure's head shall be;

`\begin{gathered} \frac{\text{head}}{\text{height}}=(9.1)/(68)=(x)/(5.9) \\ \text{Where;} \\ x=measurement\text{ of the action figure's head} \\ (9.1)/(68)=(x)/(5.9) \\ \text{Cross multiply and you'll have;} \\ (9.1*5.9)/(68)=x \\ 0.78955=x \\ x\approx0.79inches \end{gathered}`

ANSWER:

The action figure's head measures 0.79 inches
