Answer:

The scale for a model that is 30 inches long is 449.2 inches.

The scale for a model that is 2 feet long is 561.5 feet.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The USS Enterprise was 1,123 feet in length.

Part (A) What is the scale for a model that is 30 inches long?

1 feet = 12 inches.

First convert the length of USS enterprise in inches.

1×1,123 feet = 12×1,123 inches

1,123 feet = 13476 inches

Divide original length with the length of model.

The scale for the model is:


(13476)/(30)=449.2\ inches

Hence, the scale for a model that is 30 inches long is 449.2 inches.

Part (B) What is the scale for a model that is 2 feet long?

Since, both the units are in feet, so simply divide original length with the length of model.

The scale for the model is:


(1123)/(2)=561.5\ feet

Hence, the scale for a model that is 2 feet long is 561.5 feet.
