Answer

0.25%0.25\%

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Calculate the ratio of the replica height to the actual tower height

    The ratio is the height of the replica divided by the height of the actual tower.

    Ratio=Height of replicaHeight of actual tower=4.44 feet1776 feet\text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Height of replica}}{\text{Height of actual tower}} = \frac{4.44\ \text{feet}}{1776\ \text{feet}} Ratio=0.0025\text{Ratio} = 0.0025
  2. Convert the ratio to a percentage

    To express the ratio as a percentage, multiply by 100%.

    Percentage=Ratio×100%=0.0025×100%\text{Percentage} = \text{Ratio} \times 100\% = 0.0025 \times 100\% Percentage=0.25%\text{Percentage} = 0.25\%

    The height of the replica is 0.25%\boxed{0.25\%} of the height of the actual tower.

  3. Describe shading the 10x10 grid

    A 10x10 grid contains 100 squares. Each square represents 1% of the total grid. To model 0.25%, you would shade one-quarter (0.25) of a single square on the 10x10 grid.
