Question

Ramsey made a scale model of an airplane he used the scale in which 1 inch represents 100 feet the airplanes actual length is 208 feet what is the length in inches of Ramses model

Answer 1

Length of Ramsey's model in inches = 2.08

Explanation:

Given:

Scale of the airplane model made:

1 inch = 100 feet

Actual length of the airplane = 208 feet

To find the length of inches.

Solution:

We will use unitary method to find the length of airplane in inches.

If 100 ft of actual length = 1 in in the model

then, 1 ft of actual length will be =
`(1)/(100)\ in`

So, 208 ft of actual length will be =
`208* (1)/(100)\ in`

⇒
`(208)/(100)\ in`

⇒ 2.08 in

Thus, 208 feet of actual length will correspond to 2.08 inches in the model.
