Question

The Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor stands at a height of about 305 feet. A group of students in a social studies class is building a scale model of the monument. If the students use a scale of 1 inch: 50 feet, about how tall will their model be? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of an inch if necessary.​

Answer 1

The answer to your problem is, 6.1 inches

Explanation:

So we know that 1 inch of there model in real life is 50 feet.

Divide:

305 / 50

= 6.1 but we are going to use 6

Since it is 6 there model is 6 inches.

But remember we still have that 0.1 which we need to full fill for that:

Note that 6.1 will be in inches.

So it is done.

Thus the answer to your problem is, 6.1 inches
