gahh math is hard. help?
A building is 372 feet tall. For a class project, Kari is to make a Scale Model of the building to place in the front hall display case. The display case is 29 inches tall. Which scale will allow her to make the tallest model that will fit in the display case?
wait so is it 1inches=30ft?
I'd say, make the model no taller than 28 inches. Then divide the building height in inches by the model height. That's the scale.
