Question

In a town, an ice-cream parlour has displayed an ice-cream sculpture of height 360 cm. The parlour claims that these ice-creams and the sculpture are in the scale 1 : 30. What is the height of the ice-creams served?

Answer 1

Given, height of ice-cream sculpture = 360 cm
Scale used for ice - cream and sculpture = 1 : 30
The height of the ice-creams served = Scale $\times$ Actual size $[\because scale=\frac{sizedrawn}{actualsize}]$
= $\frac{1\times 360}{30}=12cm$
Hence, the height of the ice-cream served is 12 cm.
