Answer:

25 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Height = 4\ m[/tex]

[tex]Scale: 1cm = 0.16m[/tex]

Required

Determine the scale measurement of the given height

Represent this with x

So:

[tex]1cm = 0.16m[/tex]

[tex]x = 4m[/tex]

Cross Multiply

[tex]x * 0.16m = 1cm * 4m[/tex]

[tex]x * 0.16 = 1cm * 4[/tex]

[tex]x * 0.16 = 4cm[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]x = 4cm/0.16[/tex]

[tex]x = 25cm[/tex]
