Question

The height of a building model is 2% of its actual height. If the building

model is 3 feet tall, how tall is the actual building?

Answer 1

x = 150 feets

Explanation:

Given that,

The height of a building model is 2% of its actual height.

The building model is 3 feet tall, h = 3 feet

We need to find the height of the actual building. Let it is x.

According to question,

h = 2% of x

We have, h = 3 feet

So,

`x=(h)/(2\%)\\\\x=(3)/(2/100)\\\\x=150\ \text{feet}`

So, the actual height of the building is 150 feets.
