Answer: 60 feets

Explanation:

Given the question :

Find the missing dimensions. Use the scale factor 1 inch:12 feet. A plastic toy bird has a wingspan of 5 inches. What is the actual bird wingspan?

Using a scale factor of 1 inch : 12 feet

Wingspan of plastic toy bird = 5 inches

Calculate the actual bird wingspan

(1 inch / 12 feet) = (toy bird wingspan / actual bird wingspan)

( 1 inch / 12 feet) = (5 / actual bird wingspan)

Actual bird wingspan = 5 × 12

Actual bird wingspan = 60 feets
