Answer 1

The model of a ship is made to a scale of 3 : 500. If the length of the model is 1.5 m, the length of ship is 250 m.

Explanation:

Given,

Scale factor (k) = 3 : 500

By formula,

⇒ Length of model = Scale factor × Length of ship

Substituting values we get:

⇒ 1.5 = `3/500` ×  Length of ship

⇒ Length of ship = `(1.5×500)/3`

⇒ Length of ship = 0.5 × 500

= 250 m
