How does the coliseum in Rome compare to BC place?What size is each building (in ft and m)? Which is bigger? What is the scale factor in the picture?

This is a scale diagram of Sauroposeidon, arguably the largest creature to walk the earth. The scale factor is 0.01

What is the scale as a percent?

What is the scale as a fraction, equivalent fraction?

What is the scale as a ratio, equivalent ratio?

If one square = 1cm in the print out, how big was Sauroposeidon (tall and long)?*Solve using equivalent ratios and equivalent fractions

What would you look like beside Sauroposeidon?

Write the scale factor of this jaguar in at least 6 different ways.

How big is this Jaguar in real life?*Solve using equivalent ratios and equivalent fractions

Rewrite the scale factor as a decimal, percentage, fraction, and equivalent ratio.

What size is this Ferarri in real life using equivalent fractions?

Use 2 different scales to verify its size (once as a ratio, again as equivalent fractions).

If the model was 27cm, what would the scale factor be?

If a scale factor of 1/12 was used, how big would the model be?

The Queen of Surrey was built in 1981, with an overall length of 139.29 m (457'). The first model they built for selling in the gift shop is 1.114m, what scale factor did they use? Write it in at least 6 different ways.

Blood cells

1 micron = 10-6m = 0.000001

How big are white blood cells? Platelets?

In order to build an accurate model of the solar system (the sun, mercury, venus, earth, mars, jupiter, saturn, neptune, and uranus), a sculptur has started with Venus making a sphere whose diameter is 1m long. What scale did they choose? How large will the rest of the planets be in his model? Was this a good choice? Can you choose a better scale? How big would the planets be in your scale?

How far apart will the planets need to be from the sun if your new and improved scaled is used? If we place the model of the sun at our school, where would earth be?

Choose a scale factor so that you can maximize the size of a tennis court on your piece of paper (there are several different ones, find your matching size group). Use a ruler to help you make your measurements and clearly indicate the scale factor on the diagram.
