Question

A tourist takes a picture with a Miao statue on Easter island in the photograph the Miao statue is approximately 4.5 inches tall and the tourist is about 1.25 inches tall. If the actual height of the Miao statue is about 6.0 meters tall what is the approximate height of the human tourist in meters

Answer 1

Answer:

Height of the human tourist is 1.67 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Miao statue height in picture = 4.50"

Human tourist height in picture = 1.25"

∴ Miao statue/Human tourist = 4.50/1.25 = 3.6

Actual height of the Miao statue = 6.0 m

Let height of the human tourist be x

∴ Miao statue/Human tourist = 6/x

Both  the ratios should be the same.

∴ 3.6=6/x

x=6/3.6 ≈ 1.67 m

∴ Height of the human tourist is 1.67 m
