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?

Answer 1

100 feet = 1200 inches

scale = 10 inches : 1200 inches

1 inch : 120 inches

Answer 2

Set up a ratio.

10 : 100 = 10/100 = 1/10

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

Answer 3

Ignore my answer.

I did not notice that one measurement is in feet.

I compared inches to feet, which you cannot do.
