Question

A parking lot is going to be 60 m wide and 240 m long. which dimensions could be used for a scale model of the lot?A. 90 in x 360 cmB. 1 m x 3 mC. 20 cm x 80 cmD. 120 cm x 480 m

Answer 1

C. 20 cm x 80 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the scale model have the same ratio of the original dimensions. The ratio of the original dimenstions is

240/60 = 4

Then, the ratio for each option is

A. 360/90 = 4

B. 3/1 = 3

C. 80/20 = 4

D. 480/120 = 4

Therefore, B is not a correct option.

Additionally, we don't use A because the units for length and width are different

And we don't use D because the measures are too long for a model.

Therefore, the answer is

C. 20 cm x 80 cm
