The correct Answer is:
To find the height of the model of the tower, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the ratio We know that the ratio of the height of the actual tower to the height of the model is given as 160:1. This means for every 160 units of height in the actual tower, there is 1 unit of height in the model. ### Step 2: Set up the equation Let the height of the model be represented by \( x \). According to the ratio, we can write the equation as: \[ \frac{200 \text{ m}}{x} = 160 \] ### Step 3: Cross-multiply to solve for \( x \) Cross-multiplying gives us: \[ 200 = 160x \] ### Step 4: Isolate \( x \) To find \( x \), we divide both sides of the equation by 160: \[ x = \frac{200}{160} \] ### Step 5: Simplify the fraction Now, we simplify the fraction: \[ x = \frac{200 \div 40}{160 \div 40} = \frac{5}{4} \] ### Step 6: Convert to decimal To express \( \frac{5}{4} \) in decimal form: \[ \frac{5}{4} = 1.25 \] ### Conclusion Thus, the height of the model is: \[ \text{Height of the model} = 1.25 \text{ m} \] ---
