MOVIES A movie director is creating a scale model of the Empire State Building to use in a scene. The Empire State Building is 1250 feet tall. If the model is 75 inches tall, what is the scale of the model?

Respuesta :

The scale of model is 3 inches = 50 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Height of Empire state building = 1250 feet

Height of model of building = 75 inches

Therefore;

75 inches = 1250 feet

We will divide the height in feet with the height in inches to determine the scale of model.

1 inch = [tex]\frac{1250}{75}[/tex]

1 inch = [tex]\frac{50}{3}\ feet[/tex]

Multiplying both sides by 3

[tex]3*1\ inches = \frac{50}{3}*3\ feet\\3\ inches = 50\ feet[/tex]

The scale of model is 3 inches = 50 feet
