Jeremy is building a birdhouse that is a scale model of his own house. If his house is 16 feet tall, and he wants to build his birdhouse 24 inches tall, what scale should he use?

Respuesta :

Answer: 3:2 is the scale he should use

Step-by-step explanation: You simplify 24/16 by the GCF (greatest common factor) The GCF of 24 and 16 is 8 so [tex]\frac{24}{16}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{8}{8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]. 3/2 could also be written as a scale or ratio which is 3:2.
