BUILDING Curtis wants to build a model of a 180-meter tall building. He will be using a scale of 1.5 centimeters =3.5 meters. How tall will the model be? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
Let [tex]x[/tex] be the height of the model. We have [tex]\frac{180}{x} = \frac{3.5}{1.5}[/tex]. Hence, we have [tex]x=\frac{180}{3.5}\cdot 1.5 \approx 77.1[/tex].
