PROBLEM

A sculptor is making a 19\frac{1}{9} scale model of an 89-ton landmark. Find the model's weight by solving 9x=899x=89.

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The original landmark weighs89 tons. The scale of the model is 19\frac{1}{9}
3. The equation to solve is 9x=899x =89 where xx is the weight of the completed sculpture in tons

STEP 2

The equation to solve is 9x=899x =89. To solve for xx, we need to isolate xx on one side of the equation. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by9.
x=899x = \frac{89}{9}

SOLUTION

Now, we just need to perform the division to find the value of xx.
x=8999.89x = \frac{89}{9} \approx9.89The completed sculpture will weigh approximately9.89 tons when rounded to two decimal places.
