Question

a scale of model cars is 4 inches long. The car itself is 12 feet long. if the model is 2 inches wide, how wide, is the actual car (in feet)

Answer 1

6 feet wide

Explanation:

Our ratio in this example is for every 4 inches : 12 feet. Divide both of it by 4

4:12
/4:/4
1 inch:3 ft.

So every 1 inch is 3 ft. So 2 inches is 3*2 = 6 ft as the width of the car.
