Question

an office building in downtown Tampa is 975 feet tall. suppose a scale model of the building was made and its height was 6 1/2 inches tall what is the scale of the model?

Answer 1

we know that

scale factor=measure in the model/measure in the actual
measure in the model=6 1/2 in----> (6*2+1)/2---> 13/2 in
measure in the actual=975 ft
scale factor=(13/2)/975----> 13/(975*2)---> 13/1950
scale factor= 13/1950---> divide by 13----> 1 in/ 150 ft

the answer is
1 in/ 150 ft
