April built a model of the F-16 fighting falcon that is proportional to the actual F-16 fighting falcon. The actual F-16 has a length of 14.8 meters and a wingspan that measures 9.8 meters. Her model has a length of 0.5 meter. what is the approximate measure of the wingspan of April's model?

14.8/0.5=9.8/w
14.8w=0.5*9.8
14.8w=49
W=49/14.8
W=3.31 m
