Answer 1

Answer: 1 inch =7 feet

Explanation:

Scale factor =
`(Image \ size)/(original \ size)`

The length of the wingspan in model is 8 inches.

The length of the wingspan of the actual airplane is 56 feet in length.

Scale factor =
`(56)/(8)=7\text{ feet per inch}`

i.e. 1 inch of model gives 7 actual feet.

Required Scale: 1 inch=7 feet
