To determine how many centimeters long Javier should make his model, we need to calculate the length of the Mackinac Bridge in centimeters according to the scale.
The scale is 2 centimeters to 1000 feet, which means that 1 centimeter represents 1000/2 = 500 feet.
Since the total length of the Mackinac Bridge is 26,000 feet, the length of the model should be 26,000/500 = <<26000/500=52>>52 centimeters.
Therefore, Javier should make his model 52 centimeters long.
Javier is making a model of the Mackinac Bridge. The total length of the Mackinac Bridge is 26,372 feet. Javier rounds this to 26,000 feet. Javier wants to use a scale of 2 centimeter to 1000 feet.
