Answers
GPT 3.5
To find the scale of the model, we need to determine how many inches in the photograph correspond to 1 foot in real life.
15 feet in real life = 5 inches in the photograph
1 foot in real life = 5 inches / 15 = 0.333 inches
Therefore, the scale of the model is 0.333 inches to 1 foot or 1 inch to 3 feet.
15 feet in real life = 5 inches in the photograph
1 foot in real life = 5 inches / 15 = 0.333 inches
Therefore, the scale of the model is 0.333 inches to 1 foot or 1 inch to 3 feet.
