The length of a car measures 20 feet. What is the length of a model of the car is the scale factor is 1inch to 2.5feet.
To find the length of the model car, we can use the scale factor given.
Scale factor: 1 inch to 2.5 feet
First, we need to convert the length of the car to inches since the scale factor is given in inches.
20 feet * 12 inches/foot = 240 inches
Next, we need to use the scale factor to find the length of the model car.
1 inch represents 2.5 feet.
So, to find the length of the model car, we divide the length of the actual car in inches by the scale factor:
240 inches / 2.5 = 96 inches
Therefore, the length of the model car is 96 inches.
To find the length of the model car, we need to use the given scale factor of 1 inch to 2.5 feet.
First, we convert the length of the real car into inches.
Since 1 foot is equal to 12 inches, we can calculate:
20 feet = 20 * 12 = 240 inches.
Now, we can use the scale factor to find the length of the model car.
1 inch (scale) corresponds to 2.5 feet (actual length).
So, to find the length of the model car, we multiply the actual length in inches by the scale factor:
240 inches (actual length) * (1 inch / 2.5 feet) = 96 inches.
Therefore, the model car has a length of 96 inches.
