In the model, 1 inch equals 1 meter and 1 teaspoon equals 1,000 gallons of water.How tall would the model tower have to be for the actual water tower to hold a volume of 110,000 gallons of water?a) 1,100 inches tall b) 110 inches tall c)11 inches tall and d) 22 inches tall

Respuesta :

110 inches tall (option B)

Explanation:

The sale model:

1 teaspoon = 1 inch of height

1 inch = 1 m

1 teaspoon = 1000 gallons of water

For 110,000 gallons of water, we need to convert from gallons to height

From gallons to teaspoon:

1000 gallons of water = 1 teaspoon

110000 gallons of water = 110000/1000

110000 gallons of water = 110 teaspoon

conversion from teaspoon to height in inches

1 teaspoon = 1 inch of height

110 teaspoon = 110/1

110 teaspoon = 110 inches tall (option B)
