The Empire State Building reaches 1,250 feet at the top floor. Keira has a model of this landmark building that is 8 inches tall. What is the scale between the model and the actual building?

Parth (parthkohli):

1,250 feet = 15000 inches. So the scale between the model and actual building is 8:15000 Just imagine :O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

exactly. :p

Parth (parthkohli):

15000/8 = 1875 inches = 625 feet lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

parth your not correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1:1875 is the correct scale

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15000 inches is the height of empire state building 15000/8=1875 so the model is in a ratio of 1:1875
