Answer:

The ratio is $\frac{1}{492}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that

1 ft=12 in

The Eiffel Tower is 984 feet

Convert to inches

984 ft=984*12=11,808 in

<em>Find the ratio of the height of the model to the height of the actual Eiffel Tower</em>

The height of the model is 24 in

The height of the actual Eiffel Tower is 11,808 in

the ratio is equal to

$\frac{24}{11,808}=\frac{1}{492}$

That means----> The height of the actual Eiffel Tower is 492 times greater than the height of the model
