Omar is making a scale model of the Statue of Liberty for a report on New York . The Statue of Liberty is 305 feet tall measuring from the ground to the tip of the torch . If the model is 1/100 the actual size of the Statue of Liberty , how tall is the model?
The Statue of Liberty is 305 feet tall measuring from the ground to the tip of the torch . If the model is 1/100 the actual size of the Statue of Liberty
Actual size of the statue = 305
Model is \(\frac{1}{100}\) of the actual size of the Statue of Liberty
Height of model = \(\frac{1}{100}\) of the actual size
= \(\frac{1}{100}\) * 305
= \(\frac{305}{100}\)= 3.05
Model of Statue of Liberty is 3.05 feet tall
