Answer:

B. 1 in = 7 ft

Explanation:

Since on the scale the boat was 6 inches and the actual boat was 42 feet, we need to divide to see how many feet correlate to the number on inches on the scale. So we do 42 / 6, which equals 7. This means that for every inch on the scale, it will be 7 feet in real life.
