QuestionA sculptor is making a $\frac{1}{9}$ scale model of an 89-ton landmark. Find the model's weight by solving $9x=89$ .

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The original landmark weighs89 tons. The scale of the model is $\frac{1}{9}$
3. The equation to solve is $9x =89$ where $x$ is the weight of the completed sculpture in tons

STEP 2

The equation to solve is $9x =89$ . To solve for $x$ , we need to isolate $x$ on one side of the equation. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by9.
$x = \frac{89}{9}$

STEP 3

Now, we just need to perform the division to find the value of $x$ .
$x = \frac{89}{9} \approx9.89$ The completed sculpture will weigh approximately9.89 tons when rounded to two decimal places.
