12 × 5.5 = 66
66 / 7 = 9.42857142857
Answer:
0.106 ( approx )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
The height of human is between 5 feet and 6 feet,
So, the average height of a human = [tex]\frac{5+6}{2}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{11}{2}[/tex]
= 5.5 feet,
∵ 1 feet = 12 inches,
Thus, the average height of a human = 12 × 5.5 = 66 inches
Now,
[tex]\text{Scale factor}=\frac{\text{Scaled measure}}{\text{Actual measure}}[/tex]
We have,
Scaled measure of the height of a human = 7 inches,
Thus,
[tex]\text{Scale factor}=\frac{7}{66}\approx 0.106[/tex]
