Question

A museum exhibit of famous buildings includes a scale model of the empire state building .the model was built using a scale of 3 m:56 m. the height of the actual empire state building is 443.2 meters. what is the height of the model?

Answer 1

If the scale is 3:56 then that’s the same as 3/56:1.

We need to solve 3/56=x/443.2 where x is the scaled height, so x=3×443.2/56=831/35=23.74m approx.
