Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

A scale model of a school building is 5 inches tall.

Actual size of the school building is 100 feet.

1 feet=12 inches

100 feet=12×100 inches

= 1200 inches

5 inch is representing 1200 inches

1 inch represents 1200/5 inches

1 inch represents 240 inches

or 1 inch represents 12×20 inch

or 1 inch represents 20 feet

Scale of the model is:

1 inch represents 240 inches

1 inch represents 20 feet
