ASP.NET MVC - Code First using Existing Database

I am new to ASP.NET MVC 5 and have questions regarding implementation of Code First using an Existing Database.

1. What folder should I add the  "ADO.NET Entity Data Model" to?  Should I add it to the "Models" folder or some other folder?  I have several tables in my existing database and I don't believe the root project folder is the best folder to store all these classes.

2.  Is there a 1 to 1 relationship between the Model and existing Table?   In other words, should each column in my Table have a matching property in a corresponding Model?
 
3. If not what is the best practice in designing models with existing database table structures.

Thank you in advance for you help!
