Accepted Answer

Solution The ratio between comparable measurements of an object and a representation of that object is known as a scale factor in mathematics The copy will be larger if the scaling factor is a whole number A fractional scaling factor means that the duplicate will be smaller From the question it is given that a model of a ship is made to a scale of 1 200 Given the volume of the model is 200 liters Then Volume of ship 200 2001sup3sup 200 8000000 200 8000000100 1600000 msup3sup
