The height of the model.
Solution:
It is given that the scale model of an object has a scale of 1cm : 2ft and the actual object is 11 feet tall.
Let the height of the model be x cm.
[tex]\dfrac{x\ cm}{11\ ft}=\dfrac{1\ cm}{2 \ ft}[/tex]
[tex]x\ cm=\dfrac{1 \ cm\times 11\ ft}{2 \ ft}[/tex]
[tex]x\ cm=5.5\ cm[/tex]
Therefore, the model is 5.5 cm tall.
