Question

The 1/48 scale model of the building stood 11 inches high. What was the height of the actual building

Answer 1

The ratio is 1 : 48. 1 for the model and 48 for real-life measurement of the building. This means for every inch of the model, we multiply by 48 to get the actual or real-life measure.

Therefore the actual height of the building is 11 x 48 = 528 feet
