One L of paint is needed to paint a statue 3m high. Find the number of L it will take to paint (to the same thickness) 540 statues similar to the original but only 1 m high.
----
amt. of paint, height, and # of statues are all directly related:
p = k*h*n
Solve for "k" using "One L of paint is needed to paint a statue 3m high".
1 = k*3*1
k = 1/3
------
Equation:
p = (1/3)*h*n
--
Find the number of L it will take to paint (to the same thickness) 540 statues similar to the original but only 1 m high.
p = (1/3)*1*540
paint = 180 L (amt. of paint required)
