Question

A model igloo is 7 in wide. If it was built with a scale of 1 in : 2 ft, how wide is the real igloo?

(A) 14 ft
(B) 16 ft
(C) 18 ft
(D) 20 ft

Answer 1

The width of the real igloo is 14 feet. Hence, A) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the width of the real igloo, we can use the given scale: 1 inch = 2 feet. Since the model igloo is 7 inches wide, we can multiply this by the scale factor to find the width of the real igloo.

7 inches * 2 feet/inch = 14 feet

Therefore, the width of the real igloo is 14 feet.
