Hi!

So, it looks like you're doing ratios.

Let's look at 9). If the model car is 4 inches long, and 1 inch equals 4 feet, than the actual car is 16 feet long. We know this because 4x4=16.

11) is also just as simple. If 1 cm is 11 km, and the two cities are 99 km apart, then on the map they are 9 cm apart. 11x9 is 99.

13) This is a 1:2 ratio. Basically, the flagpole's shadow is half of its height. You half the man's height to get a 3 foot shadow.

And, finally, 15)- if the model is 4 inches to the real life train's 3 feet, the actual train is 120 ft long, given that the model is 40 in long. 40x3=120.

I hope this helps! :)
