Question

A model of tanker is made using scale of 1:25 length of tanker is 25m calculate the length in centimetres of model

Answer 1

Given :

Length of tanker = 25 m ------ ( 1 )

Length of model : Length of tanker = 1 : 25

i.e.,

$\frac{length \: of \: model}{length \: of \: tanker} = \frac{1}{25} \\ \\ \frac{length \: of \: model}{25} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = \frac{1}{25} \\ \\ length \: of \: model \: = \frac{1}{25} \times 25 \\ \\ length \: of \: model \: = 1m \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 100cm$
