Question

You are making a scale model of your bedroom. You decided to use the scale 1 meter = 5 centimeters. The couch in your bedroom is 4.3 meters long. How many centimeters long would your couch be in your model? (don’t forget to include units in your answer)

Answer 1

To find out how long your couch would be in your scale model, we need to convert the real length of the couch into centimeters based on the given scale of 1 meter = 5 centimeters.

First, convert the length of the couch from meters to centimeters. Since 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters, we can multiply the length of the couch in meters by 100 to get the length in centimeters.

4.3 meters * 100 centimeters/meter = 430 centimeters

Therefore, your couch would be 430 centimeters long in your scale model. Remember to include the units in your answer.
