Question
the table below gives the dimensions of a sculpture and a scale model of the sculpture. find the scale factor of the model. (the scale factor to get the model from the sculpture.) write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.
| length (inches) | width (inches) | height (inches) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| model | 6 | 4 | 8 |
scale factor: |
Step1: Elegir la relación de longitudes
Tomamos la longitud del modelo y la del monumento: \( \frac{\text{Modelo}}{\text{Escultura}} = \frac{6}{27} \).
Step2: Simplificar la fracción
Divide numerador y denominador por su máximo común divisor, que es 3: \( \frac{6\div3}{27\div3} = \frac{2}{9} \). (Podemos verificar con ancho: \( \frac{4}{18} = \frac{2}{9} \) o altura: \( \frac{8}{36} = \frac{2}{9} \), todos dan el mismo factor de escala).
