Question 1033327: Given that a 50 foot tall amazon women from a science fiction movie is similar to a normal size woman, determine her weight given that the average woman is 5.5 ft tall and weighs 40 lbs. Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Assuming that the weight is directly proportional to the height (which it really isn't), we can solve this with a proportion...
Cross-multiply and solve, we get
5.5x = 2000
x = 363.6 pounds
This is realistically incorrect, even there was a fifty-foot woman...
