Question

A model of a ship is made with a scale factor of 1 : 500. Find 

The volume of the ship, if the volume of its model is 200 cm³.  

Answer 1

Scale:- 1 : 500

1 cm represents 500 cm = `500/100` = 5 m

1 cm represents 5m 

1cm³ represents 5 m x 5 m x 5 m= 125 m³ 

Volume of the model = 200 cm³ 

Volume of the ship = 200 x 125 m³  = 25000 m³
