What if Barbie was a REAL PERSON? In this activity you will use proportions to get an idea of what Barbie would look like if she were the height of an average woman (65” tall). Using a Barbie, a piece of string and a tape measure, find the following measurements in inches. Because some of the measurements are small, use the string as an aid:
Height
Waist
Foot length
neck
Head circumference
Hips
1. If the average height of a woman is 65”, write a proportion and find the measurement of Barbie’s waist at that height.
2. Do the same for the other measurements, then fill in the table:
Height Barbie
Waist
Foot Length
neck
Head Circumference
Hips
Average woman
***Use the internet to fill in the bottom row. 3. So if Barbie were a 65” tall woman, use full sentences to describe how she would differ from the average 65” tall woman.
