Question 745066
The sears Tower is 1450 feet tall. Jeff wanted to make a scale model for his class project, but his mother's car can hold only a 36 in tall model. What scale does Jeff need? 
-------------
36:1450
=~ 1:40.2777...
====================
He should make it 1:40 and find a different car to transport it.
It would be 36.25" tall
