Answer:
0.08 cubic feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
You have a small marble statue of Mozart that is 10 inches tall and is made of 16 cu. inches of marble.
The original statue in Vienna is 7 feet tall.
First we will convert this to inches as one relation is given in inches.
1 feet = 12 inches
7 feet = [tex]12\times7=84[/tex] inches
Let the amount of marble used for 84 inches statue be = x
We can relate both the conditions in the following way:
[tex]\frac{10}{16} =\frac{84}{x}[/tex]
[tex]10x=16\times84[/tex]
[tex]10x=1344[/tex]
x = 134.40 cubic inches
Now, 1 cubic inch = [tex]\frac{1}{1728}[/tex] cubic foot
So, 134.40 cubic inches = [tex]\frac{134.40}{1728}[/tex] cubic foot
= 0.0777 cubic feet rounding to 0.08 cubic feet.
