Joseph making a model of an airplane that measures 34 ft tall and 108 feet long. If he uses a scale of 1/16, what will be the height and length of his model airplane?Round the answer to the nearest hundred.

Answer 1

We multiply every dimension by 1/16, as following:

$\begin{gathered} 34ft\cdot\frac{1}{16}\rightarrow2.13ft\text{ tall} \\ 108ft\cdot\frac{1}{16}\rightarrow6.75ft\text{ long} \end{gathered}$
