Question

Amodel is made of a car. The car is 9 feet long and the model

is 6 inches long. What is the ratio of the length of the actual car
to the length of the model?

Answer 1

18:1

Explanation:

To convert inches to feet, we divide the value of inches by 12

Therefore, 6 inches=66/12=0.5 ft

The length of model = 0.5 ft

Length of actual car=9 ft

Ratio of actual car to model= 9:0.5=18:1

Therefore, the ratio is 18:1
