Question

A basketball player is 6ft 8 inches tall. A model of a basketball player is 5 inches tall. What is the scale factor?

So I get that you have to convert everything to inches but I don't get the nest step???

Answer 1

Explanation:

1 ft = 12 in

6 ft 8 in = 6*12 + 8 = 72 + 8 = 80 in

Scale factor = 80 : 5

= 16 : 1
