    Step-by-step explanation:

    1250 feet * 12 inches per foot : 25 inches

    15000 inches : 25 inches

    Scale = 600:1 in other words 600 inches of the building represents 1 inch of the model.

    If you want the scale to be feet of building per inch of the model, then don't multiply by 12

    1250 feet : 25 inches

    25 feet of building: 1 inch of the model.

    The scale is 1:600

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To calculate the scale you have to divide the two values of height for this case, but in the same units. So 1250 feet is equal to 15000 inches. Dividing 15000 by 25 is equal to 600, that is the scale. 1:600.
