Question

Anna wants to create a miniature version of her dog. She will create it using the scale .25 inch = 1 foot. If her dog is 2.5 feet tall, how tall will her miniature version be?

Answer 1

Her dog will be 5/8 of an inch tall. You would add 1/4 and 1/4 which equals 2/4. Then, you would split 1/4 = 1 in half so, 1/8 = 0.5

Add 1/8 to 2/4 to get 5/8

Explanation:

Answer 2

If 0.25 inch represents 1 foot, then 1 inch represents 4 feet (since 4 x 0.25 = 1).

Therefore, the height of the miniature dog in inches will be:

2.5 feet x 4 = 10 inches

So, the miniature version will be 10 inches tall.
