An artist sculpted a scale model of a giraffe for the zoo gift shop. The artist used the scale 1 inch: 4 feet to create the scale model giraffe. The actual giraffe at the zoo is 20 feet tall. How tall is the scale model giraffe in inches?

Enter your answer in the box.
inches

The scale model giraffe is 5 inches tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the size of the giraffe sculpted by the artist, knowing that it has been built on a scale of 1 inch for every 4 feet, and knowing that the real giraffe in the zoo is 20 feet, the following calculation must be performed:

20 feet / 4 inches = X

5 = X

Therefore, the size of the giraffe sculpted to scale by the artist is 5 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
