Answer: 60 feet

Explanation:

Fron the question, we have been told to use a scale factor of 1 inch:12 feet. This simply means that 1 inch has been represented to 12 feet of the actual dimension.

We are further told that a plastic toy bird has a wingspan of 5 inches. The actual bird wingspan will therefore be 5 multiplied by 12 feet and this will be:

= 5 × 12 feet

= 60 feet

A plastic toy bird that has a wingspan of 5 inches has an actual bird wingspan of 60 feet
