Question

underneath, there are two pictures of the hong kong bank of china. on the left, a replica made out of legos. on the right, a photo of the real building (one of the tallest in the world). the lego model stands approximately 5 feet tall. the real building stands about 1,205 feet tall. what is the scale factor ratio of the model to the real building? scale factor ratio (use a colon : ) =

Explanation:

Step1: Write the ratio of model height to real height

The height of the Lego model is \(5\) feet and the height of the real building is \(1205\) feet. So the ratio is \(5:1205\).

Step2: Simplify the ratio

Divide both terms of the ratio by \(5\). \(\frac{5}{5}:\frac{1205}{5}=1:241\)

Answer:

\(1:241\)
