Asked by maham237 @ in Mathematics viewed by 146 People


a boat builer wamts to make a modle of a schooner, a type of sailboatwith at least two masts. the schooner is 34 meters in length and has a beam of 8 meters (the measure or the widest point of a ship). If the builder wants her model to be 1.2 meters in length, what would be the length of the beam of the model?

Answered by maham237 @



First you should set up fractions equal to each other to see the size ratio

8/34 = x/1.2

As to make comparable fractions. Then you would cross multiply in order to get
34x = 9.6
Divide both sides by 34 and you should get an answer of 0.28m for the model beam.
