Answer: The actual ship is 168 in by 390 in

Explanation:

The model ship is:

28 in by 65 in.

The factor of scale is 1/2 ft, this means that each inch corresponds to 1/2 ft, so we have that the actual scale is:

28 in*(1/2 ft/in) = 28*(1/2)ft = 14ft

by:

65in*(1/2ft/in) = 32.5ft

So the ship is 14ft by 32.5 ft, and knowing that 1 ft = 12 inches, we can write this in inches as:

14*12 in = 168 in

32.5*12 in = 390in.

The actual ship is 168 in by 390 in
