You can put this solution on YOUR website! To create a model of the Eustachian tube of the human ear, an audiologist used the scale 1.5cm = 0.6mm. If the diameter of the Eustachian tube is 1.8mm, what is the diameter of the model?
---------------
The scale is 0.6mm/15mm (1.5 cm = 15 mm)
0.6/15 = 1/25 scale. The model is 1/25 the size of actual
1.8mm/25 = 0.072 mm, or 72 microns.
