actual tower is 207 feet
To Find:
The height of the model = ?
Solution:
We know that 1 feet is 12 inches
Then 2 feet is [tex]12 \times 2[/tex] = 24 inches
24 inches= [tex]72 \times \frac{1}{3}[/tex]of a inch.
The tower is 72 times the scale of the model.
Now the actual tower is 207 feet
[tex]\frac{207}{72}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{23}{8}[/tex], units feet
=> [tex]2 \frac{7}{8} feet[/tex]
=> 2 feet 10.5 inches.
