Question

The National Flight Museum has a model of a World War II airplane that is 24 inches long. The actual dimensions of the airplane are 72 feet long by 48 feet wide. What is the scale of the model airplane?

A.
1 inch = 2 feet
B.
1 inch = 4 feet
C.
1 inch = 3 feet
D.
1 inch = 5 feet

Answer 1

C
the model is 24 inches long so we have to do 72 divided by X = 24
so 72 divided by 3 = 24
so the model would be 24 inches long and 16 inches wide
