A scale model of an oil tanker truck can hold 1 gallon of oil. If a trucking company wants the full size truck to hold 8000 gallons of oil what scale factor must they apply to the model?
Answer: 440 grams for 1.54 is the better value
Explanation:
Take the price and divide by the number of grams
1.54 / 440 =0.0035 per gram
1.26 / 340 =0.003705882 per gram
0.0035 per gram < 0.003705882 per gram
