Answer» Height of model ship = 9 cmHeight of actual ship = 12 m= 1200 cm Let height of model ship is x % of actual ship height Then,(x/100)1200 = 9x = 9/12 = 3/4 =.75 % If length of actual ship is 28 m= 2800 cm Length of model ship=(.75/100)2800=.75*28 = 21 cm

In a model of a ship, the mast is 9 cm high, while themast of the actual ship is 12 m high. If the length ofthe ship is 28 m, how long is the model ship?6.

Answer»

Height of model ship = 9 cmHeight of actual ship = 12 m= 1200 cm

Let height of model ship is x % of actual ship height

Then,(x/100)*1200 = 9x = 9/12 = 3/4 =.75 %

If length of actual ship is 28 m= 2800 cm

Length of model ship=(.75/100)*2800=.75*28 = 21 cm
