Answer: The width of the original car = 96 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The similarity ratio of a replica car = 1:30

The width of the replica car = 3.2 inches.

By using the similarity ratio,

The width of the original car = 30 x (width of the replica car )

i.e. The width of the original car = 30 x 3.2 inches

i.e. The width of the original car = 96 inches

Hence, the width of the original car = 96 inches.
