Serika has hired Tom to build her a dollhouse. The dollhouse will be a scale model of her home, and the living room is 12 inches by 8 inches. The living room in Serika's house is 18 feet by 12 feet. What scale is used to make the model?

The scale used to make the model is : 1/18
12 inches is 1 ft , 8 inches is 3/4 ft

18 feet ÷ 1 feet = 18
12 feet ÷ 3/4 feet = 18

The scale is 1:18

Hope it helps
