The Empire State Building is just over 1,450 feet tall. In anticipation of visiting this landmark on your vacation, you create a
model of it using blocks. a. Suppose you are making a model where one block represents 2 feet. About how many blocks tall is your model of the Empire State Building? What is the scale factor?
It gives the actual height for the building, 1,450, and it says one block is two feet. Divide 1,450 by 2 and you'd get 725. And we already know dat one block is two feet so it's 1:2
(why did I start singing ``You Reposted in the Wrong Hero Academia?`` UwUz)
You have two given data available here: the actual height of the Empire State Building measuring 1,450 feet, and the height of the block measuring 2 feet. To find how many blocks stacked together would make up 1,450 feet, just divide 1,450 by 2.
Number of blocks=1,450 feet * (1 block/2 feet) Number of blocks = 725 blocks
Therefore, you would use a model requiring 725 blocks. The scale factor for the model is 1 block per two feet.
