A scale model of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco has a main span that is 284 centimeters long. If the scale of the model is 1 cm : 15 ft, how long is the main span of the bridge?

Respuesta :

Answer:

We can use a proportion, here:

 

Let x be the main span length

 

15 ft/ 1cm  =  x ft / 284 centimeters      cross-multiply

 

284 * 15  = x   = 4260 ft
