You have been asked to build a scale model of your school out of toothpicks. Imagine your school is 30 feet tall. Your scale is 1 ft:1.47 cm.

If a toothpick is 6.3 cm tall, how many toothpicks tall will your model be?

7 toothpicks tall
1.47•30= 44.1 (the cm of the model)
then 44.1 divided by 6.3= 7
