Question

A designer decides to create a larger scale model of a smart phone so that his team can work more easily on the design. The length of the screen of his model is 60 centimeters, which is 2.5 times longer than it is wide. The designer asked his team to build the screen of the actual phone with a width of 6 centimeters. What is the scale factor of the model phone to the actual phone?

Answer 1

The length of the model is 250% of the width and is 60 centimeters, and the width of the actual phone is 6 so it has a scale factor of 4:1.

Hope this helps!
