The Sears tower in Chicago is 1450 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 of the height of the model to the height of the actual Sears tower, we need to convert both measurements into the same unit.

Given:
Height of the Sears Tower = 1450 feet
Height of the model = 24 inches

We need to convert the height of the model from inches to feet.
1 foot = 12 inches

So, the height of the model in feet is: 24 inches / 12 inches/foot = 2 feet.

Now we can calculate the ratio:
Ratio = Height of the model / Height of the Sears Tower
= 2 feet / 1450 feet

Therefore, the ratio of the height of the model to the height of the actual Sears Tower is 2/1450 or in simplified form, 1/725.
