Question

if a model of a tower uses a scale of 1/3 inch=2ft and the actual tower is 207 feet tall what's the height of the model

Answer 1

Answer:

The height of the model  is 2 feet 10.5 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

scale of 1/3 inch=2ft

actual tower is 207 feet

To Find:

The height of the model = ?

Solution:

We know that 1 feet is 12 inches

Then 2 feet is  $12 \times 2$ = 24 inches

24 inches= $72 \times \frac{1}{3}$of a inch.

The tower is 72 times the scale of the model.

Now the actual tower is 207 feet

$\frac{207}{72}$ = $\frac{23}{8}$, units feet

=> $2 \frac{7}{8} feet$

=> 2 feet 10.5 inches.
