The scale of the model is 1 inch = 3 feet.

An existing gymnasium is 8 inches tall in the model. How tall is the actual gymnasium?​

Now, to find the actual height of gymnasium.

Let the actual gymnasium be
`x` feet tall.

And in the model the gymnasium is 8 inches.

As the scale model is 1 inch = 3 feet.

So, 1 inch is equivalent to 3 feet.

Thus, 8 inches is equivalent to

By cross multiplying we get:
