An engineer is reviewing an intern's work. The intern drew a scale drawing that is a 4 centimeter tall building, but the intern forgot to write down what scale he's using. If the engineer reviews the project and finds that the building is supposed to be 16 meters tall, what scale is the intern using? \(1 \, centimeter \, = \, 4 \, meters\)

\(1 \, centimeter \, = \, 4 \, meters\)

\(1 \, centimeter \, = \, 5 \, meters\)

\(1 \, centimeter \, = \, 7 \, meters\)

\(1 \, centimeter \, = \, 1 \, meter\)

\(1 \, centimeter \, = \, 4 \, meters\)

A to-scale figure of the space station is 4 inches long. If you know the space station is 16 yards long, what scale did they use for the figure? \(1 \, inch \, = \, 4 \, yards\)

\(1 \, inch \, = \, 4 \, yards\)

\(1 \, inch \, = \, 1 \, yard\)

\(1 \, inch \, = \, 2 \, yards\)

\(1 \, inch \, = \, 3 \, yards\)

\(1 \, inch \, = \, 4 \, yards\)
