Question

A model airplane is built at a scale of 1 inch to 32 feet. If the model plane is 8 inches long, the actual length of the airplane is blank feet.

Answer 1

If the model plane is built at a scale of 1 inch to 32 feet

let x be the actual length of the airplane

1/32 = 8/x

cross-multiply

x = 32 times 8

x = 256 inches
