Answer:

45 feet

Explanation:

To find the width of the model, we need to find the scale of the model to the actual tower.

Since we know the height of both towers, we can use that as the basis.

24 inches : 60 feet

12 inches : 30 feet

6 inches : 15 feet

So the width of the tower is 18 inches wide.

18 inches will then be equal to 12 + 7 inches : 30 + 15 feet

18 inches : 45 feet
