0Final answer:

The real car is 16 feet long when using the 1 to 64 scale given for a 3-inch Hot Wheels model.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the length of the real car based on the scale model, you first need to set up a proportion using the given scale. The scale is 1 to 64, meaning 1 inch of the model rep0resents 64 inches of the actual car. Since the Hot Wheel is 3 inches, you multiply 3 inches by 64 to find the car's length in inches.

3 inches (the model) * 64 (scale factor) = 192 inches (the actual car).

Now, convert inches to feet by dividing by 12, since there are 12 inches in a foot.

192 inches / 12 inches per foot = 16 feet.

So, the actual length of the real car is 16 feet.
