The Sears Tower in Chicago is 1,450 feet tall. A model of the tower is 24 inches tall. What is the ratio of the height of the model to the height of the actual Sears Tower?

Answer 1

To find the ratio, we need to first convert the heights to the same unit.

1,450 feet = 1,450 * 12 = 17,400 inches

Now, the ratio of the height of the model to the height of the actual Sears Tower is:

24 inches (model) : 17,400 inches (Sears Tower)

Simplifying this ratio gives:

1 : 725
