Suppose a model of the space shuttle "Endeavour" is 10 inches tall. The actual height of the "Endeavour" is 100 feet. What is the scale of the model?
Answered by Heather
100 feet = 1200 inches

scale = 10 inches : 1200 inches

1 inch : 120 inches

Set up a ratio.

10 : 100 = 10/100 = 1/10

The model is 1/10 the size of the Endeavour.

Ignore my answer.

I did not notice that one measurement is in feet.

I compared inches to feet, which you cannot do.
