7feet 10.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Model length = 5.25 inches

the ratio of the actual length = 1:18

The length of the actual motorcycle = 5.25(18)

The length of the actual motorcycle = 94.5 inches

we are asked to get our answer in feet and inches

the conversion:

12 inches = 1 ft

94.5 inches = 94.5(1)/12

= 94.5/12 = 7.875 feet

we will convert the decimal part to inches:

7.875 feet = 7 feet + 0.875 feet

from feet to inches, we will multiply by 12

0.875 feet = 0.875(12) = 10.5 inches

The length of the actual motorcycle = 7feet 10.5 inches
