The height of a building is 1008 ft tall, and is represented on a model as 8 in tall. What is the ratio of the height of the model to the actual height of the building?
- 2:3
- 8:1008
- 1:1512
-1008:12096
To find the ratio of the height of the model to the actual height of the building, we need to convert both measurements to the same units.
Since the height of the building is given in feet and the height of the model is given in inches, we need to convert the height of the building to inches.
There are 12 inches in 1 foot, so the actual height of the building in inches is 1008 ft * 12 in/ft = 12096 in.
Now we can find the ratio of the height of the model to the actual height of the building:
8 in / 12096 in = 1:1512
Therefore, the correct answer is 1:1512.
