(10 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST)
Brent and Margaret decide to buy a toy replica of the Sears
Tower in the gift shop to take home to their neighbors. The toy
replica has a scale of 1 inch : 200 feet. Is this replica larger or
smaller than the model in the lobby?

Respuesta :

Answer:

giving the ratio from 1:200

1inch = 200 feet of the original lobby

lets say you have 2 inches in this scaled model

in real life inches it equals 400 feet

So this is a smaller scale model of the original

Answer:

Smaller than

Step-by-step explanation:

Since,

[tex]\text{Scale factor}=\frac{\text{Scaled measure}}{\text{Actual measure}}[/tex]

Here, the scale of the toy replica is,

1 inch : 200 feet,

By comparing,

Scaled measure = 1 inch,

Actual measure = 200 feet = 200 × 12 = 2400 inch

( ∵ 1 feet = 12 inches ),

∵ 1 < 2400

Thus, the replica is smaller than the model in the lobby.
