Solution

To find the height of each section of the model skyscraper, we need to divide the total height of the skyscraper by the number of sections.

The total height of the skyscraper is 5 feet and there are 4 equal sections.

So, we divide 5 by 4.

5 ÷ 4 = 1.25

Therefore, each section of the model skyscraper is 1.25 feet tall.

If you want to write this as a mixed number, it would be 1 1/4 feet.
