Paul's car is 14 feet long. He is making a model of his car that is 1/6 the actual size. What is the length of the model?
To find the length of the model, we need to multiply the length of the actual car by the scale factor (1/6).
Length of the model = 14 feet * (1/6) = <<14*(1/6)=2.3333333333333335>>2.33 feet
So, the length of the model is 2.33 feet.
wrong
I apologize for the miscalculation.
To find the length of the model, we need to multiply the length of the actual car by the scale factor (1/6).
Length of the model = 14 feet * (1/6) = 14 * 1/6 = 14/6 = 2.3333333333333335 feet
However, since the question asks for the length of the model, we should round it to an appropriate decimal place.
Therefore, the length of the model is approximately 2.33 feet.
Can I get the answer as a fraction
Apologies for the confusion.
The length of the model is 1/6 of the length of the actual car, which is 14 feet.
Therefore, the length of the model is (1/6) * 14 = 14/6 = 7/3 feet.
To find the length of the model car, we'll start by calculating 1/6 of the actual length of Paul's car.
First, we'll find the fractional value of 1/6 by dividing 1 by 6:
1 ÷ 6 = 0.16666667 (approximately)
Now, multiply the fractional value by the actual length of Paul's car:
0.16666667 x 14 feet = 2.3333333 feet (approximately)
So, the length of the model car is approximately 2.3333333 feet.
