Question

A model car has a length of 7.25 inches. The actual car is 14.5 feet long. What is the scale of the model car?

Answer 1

Answer:

1:24

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert inches to feet, 7.25 inches is 0.604 feet.

0.604:14.5 needs to become 1:something, so set up 0.604/14.5 = 1/x

Solve for x now by dividing 14.5 by 0.604. You get 24 for x, so the answer is 1:24 scale!
