448 meters / .16 meters = 2,800

ratio of model height to building height = 1 : 2,800

The ratio of the height of Jessica's model to the height of the building is 1cm : 28m .

A scale drawing is a smaller image of a larger image. For example, the map of a park is a scale drawing of the park.

The formula that can be used to determine the scale of the drawing = original dimensions / dimensions of the scale drawing

16 cm / 448m

Divide both sides by 16

1cm : 28m
