Question

A car is 12 feet long. Levi makes a scale model of the car at 1:8 of its actual model .how long is the model?

Answer 1

The expression 1: 8 means that each foot is equivalent to 8, so if each foot is equivalent to 8, and we have a car that is 12 feet long, we only have to multiply 8 x 12 = 96 feet long .
