The first jumbo jet was the Boeing 747, which is 70.5 meters long. The wingspan of the 747 is 60 meters. A model 747 has a wingspan of 80 centimeters. What should the length of the model be? tell your work.

Respuesta :

Answer: The correct answer is 94 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

wingspan         length

60 meters        70.5 m

----------------- = ----------------

80 cm                   x

Cross multiply

(60 m)x = (70.5 m)(80 cm)

Solve for x by dividing both sides of equation by 60 m:

x = (70.5 m)(80 cm) / (60 m) = 94 cm

The length of the model is 94 cm.

Answer:

94 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Write and solve an equation of ratios:

70.5 m       60 m

----------- = -----------

    L           80 cm

Cross multiplying, we get:

(70.5 m)(80 cm) = (60 m)L

                                                                     (70.5 m)(80 cm)

Then the model length, L, should be  L = -------------------------

                                                                              60 m

or

L = 94 cm
