Question

a building has four stories that are each 15 ft High a scale drawing has a height of the building at 5 in which of the following is the correct scale 1:72 1:12 1:114 5:60

Answer 1

We are given the following information

A building has four stories and each story is 15 ft high

So the overall height of the building is

`4*15=60\: ft`

On the scale drawing, the height of the building is 5 in

Then the scale factor is

`scale\: factor=(5\: in)/(60\: ft)=(1)/(12)`

Therefore, the correct answer is 1:12
