Question

A scale model of a house uses a scale 1/4 (faction)

inch = 3 feet. If the model is 4.25
inches tall, what is the actual height of the
house?

Answer 1

Answer: The actual height of the house is 17 feet.

Explanation:

The actual height of the house can be found by multiplying the model's height (4.25 inches) by the scale factor.

4.25 inches * 4 (3 feet/1/4 inch) = 17 feet.

So the actual height of the house is 17 feet.
