Solution :

An architect build a scale model of a sports stadium that was 12 inches.

The actual height of the building was 180 feet.

The scale is determined by number of feet used in 1 inch.

`(180)/(12)` feet

1 inch = 15 feet

Therefore, scale did the architect use to create the scale of the sports stadium is 1 inch = 15 feet.
