To find the height of the student’s model of the Eiffel Tower in inches, you can follow these simple steps:
-
Determine the height of the actual Eiffel Tower: The height is given as 984 feet.
-
Understand the scale used for the model: The scale states that 1 inch represents 12 feet.
-
Convert the actual height to the model height using the scale:
- To find out how many inches represent 984 feet, you divide the actual height by the number of feet that one inch represents: \[ \text{Model height in inches} = \frac{\text{Actual height in feet}}{\text{Scale factor (feet per inch)}} \]
\[ \text{Model height in inches} = \frac{984 \text{ feet}}{12 \text{ feet/inch}} \]
-
Perform the division: \[ \text{Model height in inches} = 82 \text{ inches} \]
Thus, the height of the student’s model of the Eiffel Tower is 82 inches.
