Since your scale is 1ft:1.26cm, a 30-ft tall school would need to have a 30*1.26=37.8 cm model. Dividing this by how tall each toothpick is, you'll get:

\frac{37.8}{6.3} =6

ANSWER: The model would be 6 toothpicks tall.

To find out how many cotton swabs you'll need, we just divide 37.8 by how tall each swab is:

\frac{37.8}{7.7} =5

ANSWER: The model would be 5 cotton swabs tall.

(2/3)x+4= 7

Subtract 4 from both sides
(2/3)x= 3

Divide both sides by 2/3. To divide by a fraction, multiply the first number by the reciprocal of the second.
3*3/2= 9/2

Final answer: 9/2 or 4.5
