Question

A soccer pitch is about 110 m long. A model of the soccer pitch is made using a scale of 1:70. Determine the length of the model to the nearest centimetre, if necessary.

Select one:
a. 2 cm
b. 16 cm
c. 1571 cm
d. 157 cm

Answer 1

Sorry the proportion was wrong.

Answer 2

no worries

Answer 3

So we know that we are dealing with two different units: meters and centimeters.

We need to convert one of them, preferably the 110 meters to the centimeters. We know that 1 meter = 100 cm. How many cm is 110 m?

Answer 4

11000

Answer 5

Correct.

Answer 6

Now we also know that according to the ratio, for every 1 meter that was displayed in the model 70 meters was actually pitched.

So to find this out we need to divide 11000 cm by 70 cm.
