Solution
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
