Question

A student creates a scale model of a capitol building with a scale of 5 centimeters =19 meters. If the actual height of the building is 228 meters, what is the height of the scale model?

Answer 1

Answer: 60 cm (centimeters) = 228 m (meters)

Explanation:

Since the scale is 5 cm = 19 m, we first multiply the cm by the amount we have (228), divided by the denominator.

`228*5=1140\\1140 / 19 = 60`

The answer should be 5 cm = 19 m; 60 cm = 228 m

Hope this helps
