The scale model of a building is 5.4 feet tall. If the original building is 810 meters tall, what was the scale used to make the model? Explain.

Approximately 1492.126 to 3 decimal places

Explanation:

1 metre is 3.28084 feet to 5 decimal places

So 1 foot is 13.28084 metres.

Using scale ratio: → reduced size in fee tactual size in metres → 5.4810

These are of different units so we need to convert them. I am choosing to convert feet to metres

reduced size in metres actual size in metres → 5.43.28084 810 = 5.4 3.28084*810 ≡ 5.42657.4804 ≈ 1492.126
