4. Amount To Scale Set 2 Flashcards
Calculate amount to scale for the below question
- A model of a plane is 1/48th the size of the real plane. If the wingspan of the real plane is 30 meters, what is the wingspan of the model plane?
The wingspan of the model plane is 0.625 meters.
Explanation:
1/48th of the real plane’s wingspan is the wingspan of the model plane. So, the wingspan of the model plane is 1/48th * 30 meters = 0.625 meters.

Calculate amount to scale for the below question
- A map has a scale of 1:10000. If a distance on the map is 8 cm, what is the distance in real life?
The distance in real life is 800 meters.
Explanation:
1 cm on the map represents 10000 cm in real life. So, 8 cm on the map represents 8 * 10000 cm = 80000 cm in real life. Converting cm to meters, we get 800 meters.
Calculate amount to scale for the below question
- A recipe calls for 1/2 teaspoon of salt and serves 4 people. If you want to serve 6 people, how much salt do you need?
You need 3/4 teaspoon of salt.
Explanation:
The recipe serves 4 people with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, so each person gets 1/8 teaspoon of salt. To serve 6 people, you need 6 * 1/8 = 3/4 teaspoon of salt.
Calculate amount to scale for the below question
- A model of a building is 1/100th the size of the real building. If the height of the real building is 40 meters, what is the height of the model building?
The height of the model building is 0.4 meters.
Explanation:
1/100th of the real building’s height is the height of the model building. So, the height of the model building is 1/100th * 40 meters = 0.4 meters.
Calculate amount to scale for the below question
- A garden on a blueprint has a scale of 1:10. If a fence in the garden is 8 cm long on the blueprint, what is the actual length of the fence?
The actual length of the fence is 80 cm.
Explanation:
1 cm on the blueprint represents 10 cm in real life. So, 8 cm on the blueprint represents 8 * 10 cm = 80 cm in real life.
Calculate amount to scale for the below question
- A map has a scale of 1:20000. If a distance on the map is 12 cm, what is the distance in real life?
The distance in real life is 2400 meters.
Explanation:
1 cm on the map represents 20000 cm in real life. So, 12 cm on the map represents 12 * 20000 cm = 240000 cm in real life. Converting cm to meters, we get 2400 meters.
Calculate amount to scale for the below question
- A recipe calls for 1 cup of flour and serves 8 people. If you want to serve 10 people, how much flour do you need?
You need 1 1/4 cups of flour.
Explanation:
The recipe serves 8 people with 1 cup of flour, so each person gets 1/8 cup of flour. To serve 10 people, you need 10 * 1/8 = 1 1/4 cups of flour.
Calculate amount to scale for the below question
- A model of a car is 1/64th the size of the real car. If the length of the real car is 4 meters, what is the length of the model car?
The length of the model car is 0.0625 meters.
Explanation:
1/64th of the real car’s length is the length of the model car. So, the length of the model car is 1/64th * 4 meters = 0.0625 meters.
Calculate amount to scale for the below question
- A garden on a blueprint has a scale of 1:20. If a pond in the garden is 6 cm wide on the blueprint, what is the actual width of the pond?
The actual width of the pond is 120 cm.
Explanation:
1 cm on the blueprint represents 20 cm in real life. So, 6 cm on the blueprint represents 6 * 20 cm = 120 cm in real life.
Calculate amount to scale for the below question
- A map has a scale of 1:25000. If a distance on the map is 10 cm, what is the distance in real life?
The distance in real life is 2500 meters.
Explanation:
1 cm on the map represents 25000 cm in real life. So, 10 cm on the map represents 10 * 25000 cm = 250000 cm in real life. Converting cm to meters, we get 2500 meters.
Calculate amount to scale for the below question
- A recipe calls for 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda and serves 6 people. If you want to serve 9 people, how much baking soda do you need?
You need 3/8 teaspoon of baking soda.
Explanation:
The recipe serves 6 people with 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda, so each person gets 1/24 teaspoon of baking soda. To serve 9 people, you need 9 * 1/24 = 3/8 teaspoon of baking soda.
Calculate amount to scale for the below question
- A model of a train is 1/72nd the size of the real train. If the length of the real train is 48 meters, what is the length of the model train?
The length of the model train is 0.6667 meters.
Explanation:
1/72nd of the real train’s length is the length of the model train. So, the length of the model train is 1/72nd * 48 meters = 0.6667 meters.
Calculate amount to scale for the below question
- A garden on a blueprint has a scale of 1:30. If a statue in the garden is 12 cm tall on the blueprint, what is the actual height of the statue?
The actual height of the statue is 360 cm.
Explanation:
1 cm on the blueprint represents 30 cm in real life. So, 12 cm on the blueprint represents 12 * 30 cm = 360 cm in real life.
Calculate amount to scale for the below question
- Amap has a scale of 1:50000. If a distance on the map is 5 cm, what is the distance in real life?
The distance in real life is 2.5 kilometers.
Explanation:
1 cm on the map represents 50000 cm in real life. So, 5 cm on the map represents 5 * 50000 cm = 250000 cm in real life. Converting cm to kilometers, we get 2.5 kilometers.
