Solution
Let the length of the model ship he x cm. The given information is Height of mast of model ship=6cm Height of mast of actual ship=9m Length of ship=33cm
We know that the dimensions of the actual ship and the model ship are directly proportional to each other.
Therefore we obtain:- 9/6=33/x 9x=33*6 9x=198 x=198/9=22cm Thus, the length of the model ship is 22 cm.
