The answer is 8 feet or 96 inches.

Explanation:

The height of a scale model building is in 15 in.

The scale is 5 in. to 32 in.

Let the height of the building be x

Relation forms;

`(5)/(32) =(15)/(x)`

=>
`5x=32*15`

x =
`(480)/(5)`

x = 96 inches.

As there, are 12 inches in a feet, we get
`(96)/(12)=8` feet as the answer.
