The scale factor for a model train is 1/6.if the actual train is 25 ft long, how long is the scale model? Is it A) 4.2ft, B) 3.4ft, C)150 ft, D) 5ft?

150

25/6 = ?

The monkey bars on a playground measures 14.8ft long. A scale model of the bars measures 8 inches long. Write a scale statement for the model.

To find the length of the scale model train, you need to multiply the scale factor by the actual length of the train.

The scale factor is given as 1/6, which means that one unit on the model train represents six units on the actual train.

First, you need to find the length of one unit on the actual train:
1 unit (actual train) = 25 ft / 6 = 4.1667 ft (rounded to 4.2 ft)

Now, to find the length of the scale model train, you can multiply the length of one unit by the scale factor:
4.2 ft (length of one unit) * 6 (scale factor) = 25.2 ft

Therefore, the length of the scale model train is approximately 25.2 ft. Since none of the given options match exactly, the closest option is A) 4.2 ft.
