A model of the Eiffel tower is scaled down to appear 14 cm tall. If the real Eiffel tower is 324 m tall, how many times larger is the real tower compared to the model?

To find out how many times larger the real Eiffel Tower is compared to the model, you would divide the height of the real Eiffel Tower by the height of the model. Starting with the real Eiffel Tower's height, which is 324 m, and converting it to centimeters (since the model's height is given in cm), we multiply by 100: 324 m × 100 cm/m = 32,400 cm. Now, we take the height of the real tower and divide it by the height of the model: 32,400 cm ÷ 14 cm = 2,314.29. So, the real Eiffel Tower is approximately 2,314 times larger than the model!
