Mia built a model of the space shuttle Endeavor using a scale in which 3 centimeters represents 6 meters. The actual space shuttle is 36 meters long. How long is the scale model in centimeters?

Respuesta :

The given scale is 3cm = 6 m.

The actual space shuttle is 36 meters long.

We have to use the given scale to find the scale model in centimeters. We have to multiply each side by 6.

[tex]\begin{gathered} 3\cdot6\operatorname{cm}=6\cdot6m \\ 18\operatorname{cm}=36m \end{gathered}[/tex]

According to the scale, the answer is 18 centimeters.
