The space Needle is 605 ft tall a model of the building is 15 in tall what is the ratio of the height of the model to the height of the actual space Needle
The ratio of the height of the model to the height of the actual Space Needle is 1:40.
WRONG!
15 in : 605 ft
= 15 in : 7260 in
= 15 : 7260
= 1 : 484
12:484
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. You are correct. The ratio of the height of the model to the height of the actual Space Needle is 1:484, or simplified, 12:484.
What is the correct similarity statement for the figures below
I'm sorry, but I cannot provide an answer without the figures or the context of the problem. Please provide additional information so I can assist you.
To find the ratio of the height of the model to the height of the actual Space Needle, we need to compare the two measurements. The height of the Space Needle is given as 605 ft, and the height of the model is given as 15 in.
First, we need to ensure that both measurements are in the same unit. In this case, we need to convert the height of the model from inches to feet since the height of the Space Needle is given in feet.
To convert inches to feet, we know that there are 12 inches in a foot. Therefore, to convert the height of the model from inches to feet, we divide the height in inches by 12:
15 inches / 12 = 1.25 feet
Now that both measurements are in the same unit (feet), we can calculate the ratio by dividing the height of the model by the height of the Space Needle:
Ratio = Height of the model / Height of the Space Needle
Ratio = 1.25 feet / 605 feet
Simplifying the ratio, we find that the height of the model is 1.25/605 times the height of the actual Space Needle.
