Answer:
[tex]40\ bottle\ caps[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The scale is [tex]\frac{2.4}{1}\ \frac{cm}{ft}[/tex]
That means
2.4 cm in the model represent 1 foot in the real
In this problem
The restaurant is 20 feet tall
Find the height of the model
Multiply the actual height of the restaurant by the scale 2.4
[tex]20\ ft=20(2.4)=48\ cm[/tex]
A bottle cap is 1.2 cm tall
To find out the number of bottle caps divide the height of the model by 1.2
[tex]\frac{48}{1.2}= 40\ bottle\ caps[/tex]
