A model car is made to a scale of 2 to 25. If the model is 17 inches long, how long is the actual car?

To find the length of the actual car, we need to use the scale ratio given.

The scale ratio is 2 to 25, which means that every 2 units on the model represents 25 units on the actual car.

Let's set up a proportion to solve for the length of the actual car.

(Length of model car)/(Length of actual car) = (Scale of model)/(Scale of actual)

Plugging in the given values, we get:

(17 inches)/(Length of actual car) = (2)/(25)

To solve for the length of the actual car, we can cross-multiply:

25 * 17 inches = 2 * Length of actual car

425 inches = 2 * Length of actual car

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate the Length of actual car:

Length of actual car = 425 inches / 2

Length of actual car = 212.5 inches

Therefore, the length of the actual car is 212.5 inches.

To find out the length of the actual car, we need to first understand the scale used in the model. In this case, the scale is mentioned as 2 to 25. This means that for every 2 units on the model, it represents 25 units on the actual car.

Given that the model car is 17 inches long, we can set up a proportion to find the length of the actual car:

(model length) / (actual length) = (model scale) / (actual scale)

Let's substitute the given values into the proportion:

17 inches (model length) / (actual length) = 2 (model scale) / 25 (actual scale)

Now we need to solve for the actual length of the car:

(actual length) = (model length) * (actual scale) / (model scale)

(actual length) = 17 inches * 25 / 2

(actual length) = 212.5 inches

Therefore, the actual length of the car is 212.5 inches.

2/25 = 17/x

Cross multiply and solve for x.
