Answer:

5.08 inches

Explanation:

Alyssa used a scale in which 1 inch represents 100 feet. If the actual landmark has a height of 508 feet, find the height of Alyssa's model in inches.

The scale =

1 inch = 100 feet

100 feet = 1 inch

508 feet = x inches

Cross Multiply

100 × x = 508 × 1

x = 508 × 1/100

x = 5.08 inches

The height of the model is 5.08 inches
