Solution

A model of a vehicle is made to a scale of 1: 25. If length of the vehicle is 1.6 m ; the length of its model is 6.4 cm.

Explanation:

Given,

Scale factor (k) = 1 : 25 or `1/25`

By formula,

⇒ Length of model = k × Length of vehicle

⇒ Length of model = 125 × 1.6 = 0.064 m

= 0.064 × 100 

= 6.4 cm.
