Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} \text{The scale is equal to }\Rightarrow3in=2ft \\ \text{The length of the model is}\Rightarrow6in \\ The\text{ actual length } \\ \Rightarrow6(1)/(2)in=(13)/(2)in \\ \Rightarrow6(1)/(2)in=(13)/(2)*(2)/(3) \\ \Rightarrow(13)/(3)ft=4(1)/(3)ft \\ So,\text{ the actual length is 4}(1)/(3)ft. \end{gathered}`
