A model of a building is 18 inches tall. If the building is really 678 feet tall, how tall is a window that is 1/9 in on the model? Round to the nearest tenth if needed.

Answer:

50.2in or 4.2ft

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a problem about proportions so I generally set up my problems like below. I just set some variable here to make it easier to refer back to the measurements for each. You don't have to do this, I am just showing it for clarity. I will convert everything to inches too. We need to find the real window height.

Mb = model building = 18in

Mw= model window = [tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex]in

Rb = real building = 678ft = 8136in

Rw = real window = ?

[tex]\frac{Mw}{Mb}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{Rw}{Rb}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1/9}{18}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{Rw}{8136}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{9*18}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{Rw}{8136}[/tex]  

[tex]\frac{1}{162}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{Rw}{8136}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1*8136}{162}[/tex]= [tex]\frac{8136*Rw}{8136}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{8136}{162}[/tex] = Rw

[tex]\frac{452}{9}[/tex] = Rw

Rw ≈ 50.2in ≈ 4.2ft
