You take 26 and multiply by 12 to figure out how many inches are in 26 feet and you get 312 inches...now divide by 6.5, and youcome out with the answer of 48
So the model is 1:48 scale. "One to FortyEight" or "One fourtyeigth scale"

Set up a ratio-- 6.5 in to 26 feet.
I would convert feet to inches 6.5:312 then simplify 1:48
the model is 1/48th the sze of the original

I'm guessing the question merely means the ratio like 1:1 or 2:1 type of thing so i would merely divide 26 ft by 5feet6inches
