Sal and Zack built a scale model of the Texas Capital using a scale model in which 2 inches represents 8 feet. The height of the Texas Capital is 312 feet.
What is the height of the scale model in inches?
To find the height of the scale model in inches, we first need to determine the scale factor.
Since 2 inches represents 8 feet, the scale factor is 8 feet / 2 inches = 4 feet per inch.
Next, we need to convert the height of the Texas Capital from feet to inches using the scale factor:
312 feet * 4 feet per inch = 1248 inches
Therefore, the height of the scale model of the Texas Capital is 1248 inches.
