If a miniature cathedral is 1/250th the size of the actual cathedral and is 1.2 cm high, how tall is the actual cathedral?

300 cm
250 cm
150 cm
200 cm

The correct answer is: 300 cm

To find the height of the actual cathedral, you can use the scale given in the problem. The miniature cathedral is stated to be 1/250th the size of the actual cathedral. This means that the actual cathedral is 250 times taller than the miniature version. Since the miniature cathedral is 1.2 cm high, you can calculate the height of the actual cathedral by multiplying the height of the miniature cathedral by 250: Height of actual cathedral = Height of miniature cathedral × Scale factor Height of actual cathedral = 1.2 cm × 250 Height of actual cathedral = 300 cm Thus, the correct answer is 300 cm, confirming that the actual cathedral stands at this height based on the proportional relationship between the miniature and the full-size version.
