No stupid answers

a. a statue cast a shadow that is 360 cm long. at the same time, a person who is 2m tall casts a shadow that is 6ml long how tall is the statue?

b. a model car has a scale of 1cm: 0.8 cm. if the model is 8.5 cm long. how long is the actual car.

The answer to A. is 108cm or 1.08m

First convert 2m to cm:
2m x 100 = 200 cm
Next convert 6m to cm:
6m x 100 = 600 cm
Divide the height of the person by his/her shadow:
200cm ÷ 600cm = 0.33333333333 = .3
Multiply 360cm by .3:
360cm x .3 = 108cm
108cm ÷ 100 = 1.08m

The answer to B. is 6.8 cm.

The scale seems a bit small... are you sure you don't mean 0.8 m?
a = length of actual car.
8.5 x 0.8 = 1 x a
6.8 = 1 x a
6.8 ÷ 1 = a
6.8 = a

If you did mean 0.8 m... the answer is 680 cm or 6.8 m.

a = length of actual car.
0.8m x 100 = 80cm
8.5 x 80 = 1 x a
680 = 1 x a
680 ÷ 1 = a
680 = a
680 ÷ 100 = 6.8
