Question

18. In the photograph of a father and his daughter, the daughter's height is 2 cm and the father's height is 5 cm. If the father's height is actually 185 cm, how tall is the daughter?

Answer 1

114cm

Explanation:

When you're in a situation like this, you use ratios!

If the father's height is 5cm, and actually 185cm, the ratio of photo height and actual height is 1:57.

When we use this, the father is 57 times taller than him inside the photo, so since the daughter (in photo) is 2 cm, her height should be 2*57 cm.

2*57 = 114, which concludes to 114 cm.
