Question 6 • Mathematical Models with Applications - MA4072 CR

Mount Rushmore is a sculpture that was carved using a model with a scale of 1 in :1 ft. If the model of George Washington’s face was 5 ft, how tall was the face on the actual sculpture?

Answer
A
5 ft
B
40 ft
C
60 ft
D
72 ft

Explanation

The scale means every 1 inch on the model represents 1 foot on the sculpture. A 5-foot model face is 60 inches, so the actual face is 60 feet tall. The correct choice is 60 ft.
