The door on a model building is 10 centimeters tall. The door on the actual building is 3 meters tall. What was the scale used? 1:30 1:3 10:3 1:300

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to figure this out you must first find out how much centimeters are in a meter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.01

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 100 so 100 times 3 is 300 so that meas the ratio is 1 to 100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is 1:300???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if the model door was only 1 ncentimeter tall but since it is ten you must divide ten into 300 and you will get 30 so it is 1 to 30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh

Thank you so much
