A model of a skyscraper was made by an architect. The model was 10 inches high. If the architect used a scale of 2 inches represents 12 feet, What would be the actual height of the building?A: 12ftB: 240ftC: 120ftD: 60ft

Respuesta :

The scale is 12ft:2in, then the actual height of the building is

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{12ft}{2in}=\frac{x}{10in} \\ x=\frac{10in\times12ft}{2in} \\ x=60ft \end{gathered}[/tex]

The actual size of the building is D: 60ft.
