Question

A model car is 3 3/4 inches long using a scale of 1/2 in = 2feet find the actual length of the car

Answer 1

Answer:

15 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion where x is the actual length of the car:

$\frac{3\frac{3}{4} }{\frac{1}{2} }$ = $\frac{x}{2}$

Cross multiply and solve for x:

$\frac{1}{2}$x = 7$\frac{1}{2}$

x = 15

So, the actual length of the car is 15 feet
