Question

The Natural History Museum has a 1:75 scale model of an apatosaurus dinosaur. The length of the model is 30 centimeters. Find the actual length x (in meters) of an apatosaurus.

x= ? meters

Answer 1

x = 22.50m

Explanation:

(75/1) = (x / 30)

x = 30 * (75/1)

x = 2250 cm

we know that,

1m = 100cm

We have then:

x = 2250 * (1/100) = 22.50m

yo welcome!
