José made a scale model to compare the Petronas towers, which are 1483 feet tall, to the Empire State Building, which is 1250 feet tall. In the model, the empire state building is 25 inches tall. How much taller than the model of the empire state building is the model of the Petronas towers, to the nearest 0.1 inch?

The model of the Petronas Towers is 29.7 feet of height, 4.7 feet taller than the Empire State Building model.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Height of Petronas towers = 1,483 feet

Height of Empire State Building = 1,250 feet

Height of the mode of the Empire State = 25 feet

2. How much taller than the model of the empire state building is the model of the Petronas towers, to the nearest 0.1 inch?

Let's use the Direct Rule of Three to answer this question:

                             Height of the model Height of the actual building

Petronas Towers          25                           1,250

Empire State Building   x                            1,483

1,250x = 25 * 1,483

1,250x = 37,075

x = 37,075/1,250

x = 29.66

x = 29.7 feet (rounding to the next tenth of inch)

The model of the Petronas Towers is 29.7 feet of height, 4.7 feet taller than the Empire State Building model.
