Question 1206013
.
beatriz built a model of a tower using 600 bricks stacked vertically that are each 0.25 inch tall. 
The actual tower is 200 feet tall. What is the scale of her model?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
The model is 600 * 0.25 inch = 150 inches tall.


The tower is 200 feet tall, or 200 * 12 = 2400 inches.


The scale is this ratio  150 : 2400 = 1 : 16.


In other words, 1 inch of the model corresponds to 16 inches of real construction.
