Answer:
\(40\ bottle\ caps\)
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The scale is \(\frac{2.4}{1}\ \frac{cm}{ft}\)
That means
2.4 cm in the model represent 1 foot in the real
In this problem
The restaurant is 20 feet tall
Find the height of the model
Multiply the actual height of the restaurant by the scale 2.4
\(20\ ft=20(2.4)=48\ cm\)
A bottle cap is 1.2 cm tall
To find out the number of bottle caps divide the height of the model by 1.2
\(\frac{48}{1.2}= 40\ bottle\ caps\)
