Question

A picture of a bottle is 1/8 of its actual size.

The height of the bottle is 3 cm in the picture.

What is the actual height of the bottle?

Answer 1

the actual size is 24 cm

Explanation:

first, the problem tells us that the picture is only 1/8th of the original. the easiest way to find this is by thinking about the fact that we only have 1 out of 8 parts. each of these parts are going to be the exact same size.

each of the 8 parts is going to equal 3cm. so multiply 3 cm by your 8 parts.

3*8=24

this will give you the size of your entire bottle.
