See below ↓↓

Explanation:

About how many blocks tall is your model of the Empire State Building?

• Divide the actual height by the unit height of a block
• ⇒ 1,450 / 5
• ⇒ 290 blocks

What is the scale factor?

• Height of block model = 5 ft
• Height of empire state building (actual) = 1,450 ft
• Scale factor = Actual : model
• Scale factor = 5 : 1,450 = 1 : 290
