Question

A toy company is modeling a real house as a doll house. They decide to use a 2/3 inch to 1 foot scale. If the actual house is 30 feet high, how high will the dollhouse be?

Answer 1

Each foot of the real house is equivalent to 2/3 inch in the doll house, Since 30 feet is 30 times larger than 1 foot, we can multiply 2/3 by 30 to find the measurement of the doll house.

2/3 * 30 = 60/3 OR 20 inches

The doll house will be 20 inches high.
