A 600-ft tall building is represented by a 30-in. tall model.
Using the same scale, what would be the model size of a
380-ft tall building?

First, find the scale factor by dividing the first building's real-life height by its model height.

[tex]\frac{600}{30}=\frac{60}{3}=20[/tex]

Now, we'll write an equation to find the model height of the second building.

[tex]r=20m[/tex]

Here is an equation where [tex]r[/tex] represents the real-life height of a building, [tex]20[/tex] represents the scale factor, and [tex]m[/tex] represents the model height of the same building.

Fill in the information we already know.

[tex]380=20m[/tex]

Divide both sides by [tex]20[/tex].

[tex]\frac{380}{20} = \frac{20m}{20}[/tex]

[tex]\large{\boxed{19}}=m[/tex]

So, the model height of the second building is [tex]19[/tex] inches.
