Question

As part of a downtown renewal project, businesses have constructed

a scale model of the town square to present to the city commission
for its approval The scale of the model is 1 inch = 7 feet.
The courthouse is the tallest building in the town square. If it is
5 inches tall in the model, how tall is the actual building?

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

Since one inch is 7 feet, we can multiply what we have (5 1/2) by 7 and then convert that into feet.

So when we multiply, we get 38.5. So the answer is 38.5 feet once we replace the word inches with feet.

Hence, your answer is C
