Question

The Antonov An-225 is an extremely large plane. Its length is 276 ft. – about 2½ football fields! A model of the plane has scale 1 inch = 12 feet. Find the length of the model. Calculator allowed

Answer 1

The length of the model is 23

Answer 2

the only valuable information/data in the question is:
length: 276 feet
and
1 inch=12 feet.

so we need to divide 276 by 12, because every 12 feet is one inch:
276/12=23
so the length of the model is 23 inches!
