Claire is building a dollhouse where 11 inch on the plans is equivalent to 55 inches on the actual dollhouse.

If the actual dollhouse is to be 60 inches tall, what will the height be on the plans?

55:11 is the ratio of actual inches to inches on the plan.

55/5=11, so each inch on the plan is equal to 5 inches in actuality.

60/5=12, so the height on the plans would be 12 inches.
