A builder wants to make a model of a tower. The scale of the model is 1/2 in. : 2 ft. What will be ther height of the scale if the tower is 175 ft?
well, 175/2=?
then times 1/2 inch= your answer
To find the height of the scale model, you will need to follow these steps:
1. Divide the height of the actual tower (175 ft) by the numerator of the scale ratio (2 ft).
175 ft ÷ 2 ft = 87.5
2. Multiply the result by the denominator of the scale ratio (1/2 inch).
87.5 x 1/2 inch = 43.75 inches
Therefore, the height of the scale model tower would be 43.75 inches.
