For a celebration a town is going to pass out miniature replicas of the town's bell. The replicas are 9 in. tall. If the scale of the replica is l in. : 0.5 ft, how
tall is the actual bell?

The bell is 4.5 feet tall

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the replicas are 1in : 0.5ft, so each inch of the model is 0.5 feet in real life.

The replicas are 9 inches tall, so you would multiply by the scale factor, 0.5 feet. You want the units to end up being feet, so you position the fractions to cancel out inches.

in x  

the inches cancel out and you are left with:

9 x 0.5 ft

Simplify.

4.5 ft
