Answer 1

The average number of feet per story is 24 ft.

Explanation:

1,200 feet

50 stories

? ft = 1 story

Assuming that average feet is x.

`(1200)/(50) =(x)/(1)`

Cross multiply and solve:

1200 · 1 = 50 · x

1200 = 50x

1200 ÷ 50 = x

24 = x

24 feet = 1 story

24 feet per story

Answer 2

The total height of Bank of America Tower = 1200
