A building has 4 stories that are each 15 feet high. A scale drawing has the height of the building at 5 inches.

Which of the following is the correct scale?

1:72
1:12

Answer 1

1:144 inches

Explanation:

Answer 2

1:144

Explanation:

if each floor is 15 feet, the whole building is 60 feet tall. so it does have a scale of 5 inches:60 feet but if you simplify that, its 1 inch: 12 feet, so you convert feet into inches by multiplying by twelve, which gives you a scale of 1:144 inches
