Given:

• Tom's actual height = 68 inches

,

• Tom's head measurement = 9.10 inches

,

• Height of Tom's action figure = 15 cm

Let's set up a proportion to find the measurement of the action's figure head.

To find the proportion, we have:

Tom's actual height : Tom's action figure height

68 inches : 15 cm ==> 4.53 inches : 1 cm

Ther proportion of Tom's actual height to the height of Tom's action figure is:

4.53 inches : 1 cm

To find the measurement of the action figure's head, we have:


\frac{9.10\text{ inches}}{4.53\text{ inches }}=2.01

Therefore, the measurement of the action figure's head is = 2.01 cm

ANSWER:

2.01 cm
