Question

The scale model of a car is 5% of the size of the actual car. The length of

the model is 9 inches. How many feet long is the actual car?

Answer 1

Answer: 15 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

x = length of the actual car in inches

5% of x = 9 inches

0.05x = 9

x = 9/(0.05)

x = 180 inches

Divide by 12 to convert from inches to feet.

180 inches = (180/12) feet = 15 feet
