An engineer designed a scale model of a 1940 Ford pickup truck using a scale in which 2 inches represents 3 feet. The length of the 1940 Ford pickup truck is 15.75 feet.
What is the length of the scale model in inches? _____ inches
The scale is 2 inches for every 3 feet. To find the length of the scale model in inches, we first need to convert the actual length of the truck to the same units as the scale.
15.75 feet x (2 inches / 3 feet) = 10.5 inches
Therefore, the length of the scale model is 10.5 inches.
