Question 1127937: A silo measures 15ft wide and 75 ft long. Find the height and diameter for this scale,(1in.: 2 1/2 ft). Can you show me all the steps to solve this problem? Thank You. Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! the scale is 1 inch = 2.5 ft
You need to scale down the silo to the
smaller scale.
2.5 ft converts to 1 inch
1 foot converts to 1/2.5 inches
-------------------------------
15 ft wide inches
75 ft long inches
--------------------------------
If you need to convert back, use
the original 1 inch converts to 2.5 ft
-----------------------
hope this helps
