Question

Salem sue is a giant cow statue in North Dakota. The cow is 38 feet high. A real cow averages 4 feet 5 inches and a chicken is 13 inches. If this cow were real, how big would the chicken be on the same farm?

Answer 1

If the 38 ft cow were real then the chicken height will be 9.3 ft.

Explanation:

Height of the cow statue = 38 ft.

Actual height of the cow = 4ft 5 inch

= 4.41 ft.

Scale factor = 38/4.41

= 8.6

height of the chicken = 13 inches

= 1.08 ft.

Height of the chicken = 8.6 x 1.08

= 9.3 ft.

If the 38 ft cow were real then the chicken height will be 9.3 ft.
