Answer:

0.8 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor is 1:250 (can be rewritten as 1/250 or 1 to 250).

1/250 × 212 = 0.848 Meters

Round to the nearest tenth, the scale model will be 0.8 meters.

OR: SET UP A PROPORTION:

$\frac{250}{1} \times \frac{212}{x}$

cross-multiply

$250x = 212$

$x = 0.848$
