Question

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

Answer 1

For every inch of the model, it represents 15.25 feet

Explanation:

One way we can do this is to divide the hight of the Statue by the model height:

`(305 " ft")/(20 " in")=(15.25 " ft")/(1 " in")`

And so for every inch of the model, it represents 15.25 feet.
