Answer:
Option (G)
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of the real cane = 96 in³
Volume of the model of a can = 12 in³
Volume scale factor = [tex]\frac{\text{Volume of the model}}{\text{Volume of the real can}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{12}{96}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
Scale factor of the model = [tex]\sqrt[3]{\text{Volume scale factor}}[/tex]
[tex]=\sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{8}}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Therefore, scale factor of the model of a can = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ≈ 1 : 2
Option (G) will be the correct option.
