On a scale drawing with a scale of 1/64, the height of a building is 7.8 inches. How tall is the actual building?
64 x 7.8 = 499.2
True, but you would probably figure out feet
499.2 /12 = 41.6 feet
= 41 feet 7.2 inches
To find the actual height of the building, you need to multiply the height in the scale drawing by the scale factor.
In this case, the scale factor is 1/64. So, to find the actual height, you would multiply 7.8 inches by 64.
7.8 inches x 64 = 499.2 inches
Therefore, the actual height of the building is 499.2 inches.
To find the height of the actual building, you need to multiply the height on the scale drawing by the scale factor. In this case, the scale factor is 1/64.
So, to find the actual height of the building, you would multiply 7.8 inches by 1/64.
Now, to simplify the multiplication, you multiply the numerators (7.8 x 1) and the denominators (1 x 64):
7.8 x 1/64 = (7.8 x 1) / (1 x 64) = 7.8 / 64
When you divide 7.8 by 64, you get the actual height of the building in inches:
7.8 / 64 = 0.121875 inches
Therefore, the actual height of the building is approximately 0.121875 inches.
