Answer 1

Teresa should build 7.5 inches model.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Teresa is building a scale model of the JP Morgan chase Tower in Houston.

Her scale model, 1.5 inches represents 61 meters.

The actual building is 305 meters tall,

First find how many 61's are there in 305.

For this divide 305 by 61.

`(305)/(61)= 5`

Actual building is 5 times taller than 61. Thus the model should be 5 times taller than 1.5.

multiply 1.5 with 5 gives us:

`1.5* 5=7.5`

Hence, Teresa should build 7.5 inches model.
