Question

The height of Hancock Place in Boston is 790 feet. If you build a scale model of this building at a 1: 125 scale, how tall will the model be?

Answer 1

Given:

Height of the place = 790 feet

Scale model = 1 : 125

To find the height of this model, we have:

`790\text{ }\ast\text{ }(1)/(125)`
`790\text{ }\ast\text{ }(1)/(125)=\text{ }6.32\text{ }`

Therefore, the height of the model is 6.32

ANSWER:

height of model = 6.32
