The ratio of the model's height to actual height of tower is 1:725

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Actual height of Sears Tower = H_a = 1450 feet

Height of Model = H_m = 24 inches

We can divide the actual height by the model's height to find the scale

Let z be the ratio of the height of the model to the actual height

z = \frac{H_m}{H_a}\\z = \frac{24\ inches}{1450\ feet}\\z = \frac{12\ inches}{725\ feet}

The ratio should be in same unit.

We know that

1 ft = 12 inches

Then

z = \frac{1}{725}\\z=> 1:725

Hence,

The ratio of the model's height to actual height of tower is 1:725

The manager of a warehouse would like to know how many errors are made when a product’s serial number is read by a bar-code read
maw [93]
<span>In order to determine the total number of errors that were made by the bar code scanner, we first have to calculate how many total scans were made. Because there were six items scanned 1,000 times each, there were 6,000 total scans made. Next, we have to add up the total number of errors made by each item (36+14+21+39+11+2). As a result, there were a total of 123 errors made during the 6,000 scans.</span>
