Many movies have been made in which people are shrunk down to a fraction of their size. Suppose Armando is now strong enough to lift 60 pounds. If he were shrunk down using a ratio of similitude of 1/16 (about the size of a toy action figure), how many pounds could he lift?

OpenStudy (zepp):

Weird question bu okay.. 1/16 since Armando has been shrunk down, we assume that 16 was his 'original size' x/60 is for the weight lifting 1/16 = x/60 Solve for x

OpenStudy (zepp):

x would be 3.75 pounds
