Answer 1

$\sf{\bold{\underline {\underline {Given:}}}}$

• In a town an ice cream has displayed an ice cream sculpture of height 360 cm.
• The parlour claims that these ice cream and the sculpture are in the scale 1:30.

$\sf{\bold{\underline {\underline {Find:}}}}$

Height of ice-cream served.

$\sf{\bold{\underline {\underline {Solution:}}}}$

Let the -

• height of icecream be 1x.
• height of sculpture be 30x.

An ice cream has displayed an ice cream of 360 cm

→ 30x = 360

→ x = 360/30

→ x = 12 cm

So,

Height of sculpture = 30x

→ 30(12)

→ 360 cm

•°• Height of the icecream is 12 cm.

Verification :

From above calculations x = 20

=> 30(12) = 360

=> 360 = 360

Answer 2

Answer:

Ratio = 1:30

Height = h, 30h

Let the height of ice cream = h

Ratio = h:360

By comparing the two ratios, we get:

30h = 360

=> h = 12

Thus, height of ice cream = 12 cm
