Question

Luna is building a scale model of the Empire State building. The real Empire State building is 1,250 feet high. If Luna is making the model at a scale of 1 foot to 250 feet, how tall will her model be?

Answer 1

5 feet

Explanation:

Answer 2

5 feet

Explanation:

Since you know that the ratio is 1:250, you set up a second ratio that looks like this:

x:1,250, where x is the unknown height of the model.

Then divide 1,250 by 250 bc the real building is 250 times larger than the model. 1,250/250=5, so the model should be 5 feet tall
