If a scaled building is 672ft in real life, and you need to scale it to 1/320th size, how tall would it be if 1ft real size = 1inch scaled size?
Please show how this done
What is 672/320 inches?
I don't know if I x or divide
Hmmmm.
3/2 means 3 divided by 2, or 1.5
To determine the height of the scaled building, we first need to establish the relationship between the real size and the scaled size.
Given:
Real size of the building = 672 ft
Scaling factor = 1/320
Conversion factor from real size to scaled size = 1 ft : 1 inch
We can start by converting the real size of the building to the scaled size using the given scaling factor.
Scaled size = Real size * Scaling factor
= 672 ft * (1/320)
= 2.1 ft
Now, we need to convert the scaled size from feet to inches using the given conversion factor.
1 ft = 12 inches
Scaled size in inches = Scaled size in feet * 12
= 2.1 ft * 12
= 25.2 inches
Therefore, if the real size of the building is 672 ft, the scaled size at a scale of 1/320th and with a conversion factor of 1 ft : 1 inch will be 25.2 inches.
