WHAT IS THE LENGTH OF THE RAILROAD CAR ON THE LONG ISLAND RAILROAD? WHAT IS THE WIDTH OF THE LONG ISLAND RAILROAD CAR?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given that :

Dimension of rail road toy trains :

Length = 15 inches

Width = 4 inches

Scale = 2/9

Dimension of car on the long Island rail road :

Let length = x

Length = 2/9 of x = 15 inches

= 0.22222x = 15 inches

LENGTH = 67.5 inches

WIDTH = 2/9 of x = 4 inches

0.22222x = 4 inches

Width = 18

Width = 6 inches
