The Empire State Building is just over 1,450 feet tall. In anticipation of visiting this landmark on your vacation, you create a model of it using blocks.


part b) Suppose you are making a model where one block represents 5 feet. About how many blocks tall is your model of the Empire State Building? What is the scale factor? (2 points)

Answer 1

You would need about 290 blocks, and the scale factor would be 1450:290.

Explanation:

5ft: 1 block

1450ft: x blocks

So,

1450 x 1 = 1450 ÷ 5 = 290

And now we have,

5ft: 1 block

1450ft: 290 blocks

Hope this helps. Have an amazing day!
