Answer 2

Answer:

The ratio of the height of the model to the height of the actual Space Needle is 1:151 .

Option (C) is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

The Seattle Space needle is 604 feet tall.

A model of the building is 48 inches tall.

As 1foot = 12 inches

Now convert 604 feet into inches .

604 feet = 604 × 12 inches

              = 7248 inches

Ratio of the height of the model to the height of the actual Space Needle .

$\frac{Height\ of\ the\ model}{Height\ of\ the\ actual\ Space\ Needle} = \frac{48}{7248}$

$\frac{Height\ of\ the\ model}{Height\ of\ the\ actual\ Space\ Needle} = \frac{1}{151}$

Therefore the ratio of the height of the model to the height of the actual Space Needle is 1:151 .

Option (C) is correct .
