Question

The Statue of Liberty is about 300 feet tall and about 30 feet wide. The town of Unionville is building a smaller model for their Fourth of July celebration. Unionville's statue will be 3 feet wide.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The width of the actual statue is 30 feet and that of the model is 3 ft. What is the scale? 3 ft divided by 30 ft is 1/10.

The smaller model will be 1/10 the size of the actual Statue of Liberty.

Answer 2

Solution :-

Tall : Width

300 : 30

x : 3

By cross multiplication

3(300) = 30(x)

900 = 30x

900/30 = x

30 = x
