Question

Jose is making a model of an airplane that measures 34 feet tall and 108 feet long if he uses a scale of 1:16 what will be the height and length of his model air plane round to the nearest hundredth if needed.

A. Model height: 2.13 feet, Model length: 6.75 feet
B. Model height: 2.13 feet, Model length: 6.38 feet
C. Model height: 2.25 feet, Model length: 7.00 feet
D. Model height: 2.25 feet, Model length: 6.75 feet

Answer 1

The height of the model airplane is 2.13 feet and the length of the model airplane is 6.75 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the height and length of the model airplane, we need to use the scale ratio. The scale is 1:16, which means that for every 1 unit in the model, it represents 16 units in real life. So, to find the height of the model, we divide the actual height (34 feet) by the scale factor (16): 34 feet / 16 = 2.13 feet. Similarly, to find the length of the model, we divide the actual length (108 feet) by the scale factor (16): 108 feet / 16 = 6.75 feet.

Therefore, the height of the model airplane is 2.13 feet and the length of the model airplane is 6.75 feet.
