Okay, so what we have here is a simple ratio. Let's see exactly what they want us to do. They want us to find the ratio of height of the MODEL to the height of the ACTUAL tower. This information will be extremely useful in the future, so keep it in mind. We can imagine 1450 feet tall and 24 inches as a fraction, 24/1450. Can we reduce this fraction @bluewarrirorneedshelp?
