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 8 meters tall, what scale is the intern using? \(1 \, centimeter \, = \, 2 \, meters\)

\(1 \, centimeter \, = \, 2 \, meters\)

\(1 \, centimeter \, = \, 0 \, meters\)

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

\(1 \, centimeter \, = \, 3 \, meters\)

Lily's dad has a to-scale model of a space rocket. The rocket is 3 inches tall. Her dad tells her that the real rocket was 6 yards tall. What scale does the model use? \(1 \, inch \, = \, 2 \, yards\)

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

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

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

\(1 \, inch \, = \, 5 \, yards\)

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

\(1 \, inch \, = \, 5 \, yards\)

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

\(1 \, inch \, = \, 5 \, yards\)

\(1 \, inch \, = \, 7 \, yards\)

\(1 \, inch \, = \, 8 \, yards\)
