Question

Your model train is 18 inches long.

It is an exact model of a train that is 72 feet long.
A window on the train is how many times wider than a window on the model?

Answer 1

48

Explanation:

Answer 2

48 times wider

Explanation:

Convert length of train to inches:

`72 * 12 = 864` inches

Divide the length of the train by the length of the model train to find the scale.

so, 864 ÷ 18 = 48

and since the model train is proportional to the train, the window on the train is 48 times wider than the window on the model.
