Final answer:
The student is being asked to express the fraction 4/3.48 in model form, which is a division operation resulting in approximately 1.1494. If linked to a scale model, this could represent the scale relation between the model and the actual size. An example of a similar scale problem is to determine the wingspan of a model plane using a scale conversion.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student is asking how to express the fraction 4/3.48 in model form, likely related to a scale model or representation. To find this, we need to perform the division operation to determine the value of the fraction.
First, we calculate 4 divided by 3.48:
4 ÷ 3.48 = approximately 1.1494
This number can then be rounded as per the requirement of the model form. If we need to express it as a scale, we can infer that 4 units on the model correspond to 3.48 units in actual size.
In terms of a specific example involving scale models:
First, write the proportion.
- Let's take the scale factor 1/4":4' and the scale measurement 12'.
- You would then set up a ratio or proportion to find the missing actual dimension.
If the proportion is about a wingspan on a model plane, then:
1/3 foot (12/1) inches/foot = 4 inches
The answer is 4 inches. The wingspan on the model plane will be 4 inches long.
