Question

Molly is building a model roller coaster as part of a school project she chose the millennium force in cedar point which is 94 meters tall to model if molly uses a scale of 1 centimeter = 4 meters what will be the height of the model

Answer 1

23.5 cm

Explanation:

You want the height of the model of a 94 m tall roller coaster when the model scale is 1 cm = 4 m.

Proportion

The model dimensions are assumed to be proportional to the real-world dimensions, so the model height h will satisfy the proportion ...

h/(94 m) = (1 cm)/(4 m)

Multiplying by 94 m gives ...

h = (1 cm)(94/4) = 23.5 cm

The height of the model is 23.5 cm.
