Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
Height of Petronas towers = 1,483 feet
Height of Empire State Building = 1,250 feet
Height of the mode of the Empire State = 25 feet
2. How much taller than the model of the empire state building is the model of the Petronas towers, to the nearest 0.1 inch?
Let's use the Direct Rule of Three to answer this question:
Height of the model Height of the actual building
Petronas Towers 25 1,250
Empire State Building x 1,483
1,250x = 25 * 1,483
1,250x = 37,075
x = 37,075/1,250
x = 29.66
x = 29.7 feet (rounding to the next tenth of inch)
The model of the Petronas Towers is 29.7 feet of height, 4.7 feet taller than the Empire State Building model.
