Question 1133402: Need help with this problem, not sure how to set it up. You have been asked to build a scale model of your school out of toothpicks. Imagine your school is 30 feet tall. Your scale is 1 ft:1.26 cm. If a toothpick is 6.3 cm tall, how many toothpicks tall will your model be? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The scale factor in terms of units is:
[ cm / ft ] and
[ cm/ft ] x [ ft ] = [ cm ] cm
and
[ cm / [ cm/ 1 toothpick ]] = [ number of toothpicks ]
6 toothpicks tall
