Question

An artist used a scale factor of 1 in=8 ft to create a model of a building. if the actual building has a height of 64 feet, how many feet are they apart?

Answer 1

Answer:

Okay, so what I think you mean to ask what the scale factor between the model and actual building is, so i crunched the numbers. if 1 in equaled 8 feet and the actual thing was 64 ft, then we can just say that 64 divided by 12 is 5.3, so the model could be

5.3 ft. is the size of the model

BUT

you said how many feet are they apart so in inches its 705, in ft its 58.75

Step-by-step explanation:

a foot is 12 in.

64/12 is 5.3

64 ft is 768 inches, and 5.3 is 63.

768-63 = 705.

there are 705 inches in difference, in feet its 58.75
