Answer:

The playground is 160ft by 360ft.

The model is 4in by 9in

First, 1ft = 12 inches.

Then the measures of the playground, in inches, is:

160*12in = 1920 in

360*12in = 4320in

The playground is 1920in by 4320in.

Then, the ratios between the measures of the playground and the model are:

1920in/4in = 480

4320in/9in = 480

This means that each inch in the model, represents 480 inches in the actual playground.
