The Empire State Building is just over 1,450 feet tall. In anticipation of visiting this landmark on your vacation, you create a model of it using blocks. (I only need the scale factors)
1) Suppose you are making a model where one block represents 2 feet. About how many blocks tall is your model of the Empire State Building? What is the scale factor?
2) Suppose you are making a model where one block represents 5 feet. About how many blocks tall is your model of the Empire State Building? What is the scale factor?
