Truett made a modle of the empire state building for a school project. In this modle, 1 inch represents 100 feet. If the actual height of the empire state building is 1,250 feet, How tall should truett's modle be?

Answer 1

To find the height of Truett's model of the Empire State Building, you can use the scale factor of 1 inch represents 100 feet.

1 inch represents 100 feet
x inches represent 1,250 feet

Using the scale factor:
x = (1,250 feet) / 100
x = 12.5

Therefore, Truett's model of the Empire State Building should be 12.5 inches tall.
