Question

A particular train is 14 ft tall. A model of it was built with the 3 in : 2ft. How tall is the model

Answer 1

For the model, every 2 feet would equal 3 inches or every foot would equal 1.5 inches.
You can divide to see how many 2 feet are in 14 feet.

`14 / 2 = 7`
Since there are 7, you can multiply by 3 to see how many inches the model is.

`7 * 3 = 21`
The train model is 21 inches tall.
