Question

At a height of 316 meters, the Bell Tower is the tallest building in Morgansville. Hank is creating a scale model of this building using the scale 100 meters : 1 meter.

To the nearest tenth of a meter, what will be the height of the scale model?

Answer 1

so do you understand your problem ?

the really height of this tower is 316 meters
Hank use a scale model of 100 : 1

do you know what mean this scale model ?

so this mean that 100 real meter on the scale model will be 1 meter
in this way using the rule of 3 simple you can write

100 m real height on scale model has 1 meter
316 meters real height mean x meters

cross multiplie and calcule the x value


x = (316*1)/100 = ? m

hope helped understandably easy
