Question

A model of a car is built on a 1:48 scale. If the model is 1.5 inches wide, how wide is the actual car?

Answer 1

Answer:

72 inches = 6 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

A model of a car is built on a 1 inch : 48 inches scale.

If the model is 1.5 inches wide, then

$\frac{1}{48}$ = $\frac{1.5 }{x}$ ⇒ x = 48 × 1.5

x = 72 inches = 6 ft.
