Question

a scale model of a statue is 7 inches tall. The scale of the model is 1in./1.5ft. what is the actual height of the statue?

Answer 1

so first we would get the scale to the same units. So we would take 1in:1.5ft and convert the feet to inches. 1.5 x 12 = 18
So the scale of the model is 1:18
now just multiply 7 by 18 to get-
126 inches, or 10.5 feet
