Answer:
20cm
Step-by-step explanation:
«A scale of 1:6000» means the model is smaller than the bridge by a factor of 6000. We can also make up a proportion [tex]\dfrac{1}{6000}=\dfrac{x}{1200}[/tex], where the left side is the scale, x is the model length, 1200 is the bridge length (in meters). So, finding x or just dividing 1200 by 6000, we get 0.2 meters. Provided 1 m = 100 cm, 0.2 m is 0.2 × 100 = 20 cm.
