Answer 1

So the scaling means that per every foot in real life, you have 2.4 centimeters, which means that the scale model would be 48 cm tall.

A. To find your answer, you would divide 48 by 1.2, which is 40. So your model would be 40 bottle caps tall

B. Same as A, all you have to do is divide 48 by 15.2, which would be about 3 popsicle sticks tall (rounded)
