Question

After a trip to Washington DC, a group of students decided to make a model of a monument. The actual height
Is 555 feet 5 inches. They plan to use a scale of 1/4 inch: 20 feet. How tall the model would be?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge {\mathbb{\pink{Hello!!}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

6.94 inches

if the actual height of the monument is 555 feet 5\frac{1}{6} inches,

then this value can be expressed in one metric, i.e inches as follows;

1 foot = 12 inches

Therefore the actual height in inches is;

555*12+5\frac{1}{6} = 6665\frac{1}{6}

this figure in feet is;

\frac{6665\frac{1}{6}}{12}=555\frac{31}{72}

given that the conversion scale is \frac{1}{4} inch : 20 feet

which can be expressed as

1 inch : 20*4 feet

then the height of the model is computed as;

if 80 feet =1 inch

555\frac{31}{72} feet = ?

\frac{555\frac{31}{72}}{8}

=6.942881944

3.8!
