600 * .25 = 150 inches
\n" ); document.write( "the actual tower is 200 feet tall.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the scale is 150 inches divided by 200 feet, or 200 feet divided by 150 inches, depending on how you want to look at it.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "200 feet divided by 3 inches = 4/3.
\n" ); document.write( "that means 4 feet for every 3 inches.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "150 inches divided by 200 feet = 3/4.
\n" ); document.write( "that means 3 inches for every 4 feet.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "selection B says 3 inches = 4 feet.
\n" ); document.write( "that looks right.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "go with selection B.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
