I have a Lego model. The Lego model is a 1:25 scale. This means that 1 unit on the model is 25 units in reality. If my model is 14.5 inches tall, then how many units is this in reality?

Answer: 362.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale 1:25 means "multiply by 25" in order to go from the scale model length to the actual length in reality.

If your model is 14.5 inches tall, then the actual height is 14.5*25 = 362.5 inches.

Side note: 362.5 inches = 362.5/12 = 30.20833 feet approximately
