Question

Afteer visiting Washington, D.C., Joey Green wanted to make a scale model of the Washington Monument. The actual

height is 555 feet

Is the scale in/ft = 1/25 a reasonable scale for the model? Why?


someone pls help

Answer 1

Explanation:

height of monument = 555 feet

Scale in/ft = 1 /25

So, 25 feet = 1 inch

1 feet = 1 /25 inch

555 feet = 555 /25 = 22.2 inch

It means that the height of monument is 22.2 inch on scale. As it is a decimal number so it is not a reasonable scale.
