In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data

USS Texas length = 573 ft

USS Texas length (picture) length = 27.7 cm

Step 02:

27.7 cm * (1 inch / 2.54 cm) = 10.91 inches

10.91 inches --------------- 573 ft

1 inch ----------------------- x

x * 10.91 inches = 1 inch * 573 ft

x = 573 / 10.91 = 52.52 ft

The answer is:

1 in = 53 ft
