Answer:

113 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the ratio 1:50 to calculate the height of the tower.

The scale model height is 2.25 feet, so multiply that by 50

2.25 x 50 = 112.5

Round to 113 feet

Answer:

D. 113 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Josephine made a smaller model that is one-fiftieth the size of the real model. That means the height of the real model is fifty times as big as this model. All we need to do to find the height of the real thing is to multiply 50 and 2.25. (50) 2.25 = 112.5. That will round to 113 feet, which is the height of the new water tower.

Hope this helps ^-^
