A scale of the Eiffel Tower represents it as being 4 centimeters tall when in reality it is 16 meters tall. What scale is the drawing using? \(1 \, centimeter \, = \, 4 \, meters\)

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

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

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

\(1 \, centimeter \, = \, 6 \, meters\)

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

Tyler drove 8 miles to his home village. The map he's using represents that same distance as 4 inches. What scale is the map using? \(1 \, inch \, = \, 2 \, miles\)

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

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

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

\(1 \, inch \, = \, 1 \, mile\)

\(1 \, inch \, = \, 0 \, miles\)
