The Statue of Liberty is 305 feet tall. What scale would be used to make a model 20 inches high?

To find the scale that would be used to make a model of the Statue of Liberty 20 inches high, we can use a simple ratio.

First, convert the height of the Statue of Liberty from feet to inches. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, the height of the Statue of Liberty is 305 feet * 12 inches/foot = 3,660 inches.

Next, compare the height of the model to the actual height of the Statue of Liberty. The ratio between the model's height and the actual height will give us the scale.

Let's set up the ratio:

Model height / Actual height = Scale

Plugging in the values:

20 inches / 3,660 inches = Scale

Simplifying:

1/183 = Scale

So, the scale that would be used to make a model of the Statue of Liberty 20 inches high is 1:183. This means that each inch on the model represents 183 inches on the actual Statue of Liberty.

1inch = 15.25 feet

The Statue of Liberty is approximately 305 feet tall. A scale model of the statue is 5

inches tall. The scale of the model is 1 in = ___________ ft.

20 inches/305 feet = 20 inches/3660 inches = 1 inch/183 inches

or 1 inch/15.25 ft
