Answer:

[tex]Scale = 1ft : 55.4m[/tex]\

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Height = 443.2m[/tex] --- Empire State Building.

[tex]Height = 8ft[/tex] --- Her Room

Required

Determine the scale model

The scale model is calculated as thus:

[tex]Scale = Her\ Room: Empire\ Building[/tex]

[tex]Scale = 8ft : 443.2m[/tex]

Divide both ration by

[tex]Scale = 8ft/8 : 443.2m/8[/tex]

[tex]Scale = 1ft : 55.4m[/tex]

Hence. the scale she'll use is 1 ft her room to represent 55.4 m of the state building
