S a l and Zack built a scale model of the Texas capital using a scale in which two inches represents 8 ft the height of the Texas capital is 312 ft what is the height of the scale model in inches?
To find the height of the scale model in inches, you would use the scale factor of 2 inches representing 8 feet.
First, you need to calculate how many times the scale factor goes into the actual height of the Texas capital.
312 ft / 8 ft = 39
So, the scale model will be 39 times smaller than the actual height.
Next, you multiply the scale factor by the number of times the scale factor goes into the actual height.
2 inches x 39 = 78 inches
Therefore, the height of the scale model of the Texas capital is 78 inches.
