6 inches is 1/2 foot, so (1/2 ft) / (30 ft) = 1/60, or it may be designated as 1:60 scale.

What is the scale for a model where one and a half inches equals 6 feet?

In order to answer this, you first need to convert the feet measurement into inches. This is so that the question has consistent units. There are 12 inches in a foot, so to convert from feet to inches you multiply by 12. In this case we have 6 feet so 6x12 = 72inches. To find the scale, we put the model size as the left number and the represented size as the right number: 1.5:72 This can then be simplified by dividing both numbers by 1.5. This gives the scale of the model as 1:48.

A family is looking at a scale model of the house they are buying The model measures 6 inches by 12 inches The actual house measures 30 feet by 60 feet What is the scale of the model house?

The scale of the house is the ratio of the model to the actual house. This ratio will be the same for both directions, or else the model would be useless. 6 inches is .5 feet, so the ratio is .5:30. You always want to write ratios as 1:something, so we double both side of the ratio and get 1:60. Likewise, 12 inches is one foot, so the ratio is 1:60 for the other dimension as well, as it should be.
