Question 1177674: A model of the base of PBCom Tower in Ayala is a square whose sides measure 28 m. The intent was to make a side that measures 2,805 m. What is the ratio of the square base of the model to the length of the base side of the intended building?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let's break down this problem:
**1. Understand the Dimensions**
* **Model Side:** 28 meters
* **Intended Building Side:** 2,805 meters
**2. Calculate the Ratio**
The ratio we need is the model side length to the intended building side length:
* Ratio = (Model Side) / (Intended Building Side)
* Ratio = 28 m / 2,805 m
**3. Simplify the Ratio**
Now, let's simplify the fraction:
* 28 / 2,805 ≈ 0.009982174688057042
**4. Express the Ratio**
We can also express this ratio as a fraction.
* 28/2805. We can simplify this fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 1. Therefore the simplest form of the ratio is 28/2805.
**Answer**
The ratio of the square base of the model to the length of the base side of the intended building is approximately 0.009982 or 28/2805.
