An architect build a model of a 220-foot tall building he is designning.

The model is 25 inches tall and 10 inches wide.

How wide is the actual building ?

 

\(\begin{array}{|rcll|} \hline \frac{10\ in.}{25\ in.} &=& 0.4 \\\\ \frac{\text{wide}}{220\ foot} &=& 0.4 \\ \text{wide} &=& 0.4\cdot 220\ foot \\ \text{wide} &=& 88\ foot \\ \hline \end{array}\)

 

The building is 88 foot wide
