    You have two given data available here: the actual height of the Empire State Building measuring 1,450 feet, and the height of the block measuring 2 feet. To find how many blocks stacked together would make up 1,450 feet, just divide 1,450 by 2.

    Number of blocks=1,450 feet * (1 block/2 feet)

    Number of blocks = 725 blocks

    Therefore, you would use a model requiring 725 blocks. The scale factor for the model is 1 block per two feet.
