Question

For a celebration a town is going to pass out miniature replicas of the town's

Answer 1

Answer:

The bell is 4.5 feet tall

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the replicas are 1in : 0.5ft, so each inch of the model is 0.5 feet in real life.

The replicas are 9 inches tall, so you would multiply by the scale factor, 0.5 feet. You want the units to end up being feet, so you position the fractions to cancel out inches.

$\frac{9}{1}$ in x  $\frac{0.5}{1}$ $\frac{ft}{in}$

the inches cancel out and you are left with:

9 x 0.5 ft

Simplify.

4.5 ft
