inches feet

1 50

y 266

266 x 1 = 50y

266 ÷ 50 = y

y = 5.32

her model will be 5.32 inches

Answer 2

5.32 inches

Explanation:

It is given that 1 inch represents 50 feet, or 1 in = 50 feet.

The actual dome is 266 feet. To find the amount of inches, divide 266 with 50:

266 total feet/50 feet per inch = 5.32 inches.

The scale model in inches, therefore, would be 5.32 inches.
