QuestionA sculptor makes a $\frac{1}{10}$ scale model of a 56-ton landmark. Solve $10 x=56$ to find the model's weight.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The original landmark weighs56 tons. The sculptor's model is a1/10 scale of the original3. The equation to solve is $10x =56$ , where $x$ represents the weight of the sculpture in tons

STEP 2

We need to solve the equation $10x =56$ for $x$ . We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by10.
$x = \frac{56}{10}$

STEP 3

Now, perform the division to find the value of $x$ .
$x = \frac{56}{10} =5.6$ The sculptor's completed sculpture will weigh5.6 tons.
